STORY OF THE PLANET EARTH

Main exhibition of The National museum in 2009

Prostor: National Museum, Václavské nám., exhibition rooms on 2nd floor

Around 4.5 billion years ago the Earth came into existence and it is our home today, old but still very much alive, constantly metamorphosing, bearing the only known life in the universe. What was its birth like? What does the planet look like inside? How did life happen to evolve in such immense diversity? ... Just a few of the many questions our exhibition helps answer.

Through unique specimens, models and a selection of what we call “toys” you can investigate the Earth in a different way than your everyday experience, books or movies. Let us escort you through a volcano experiencing an earthquake, around a Devonian tropical reef or through a Carboniferous forest. You can also meet a skeleton of the giant dinosaur Amargasaurus or the well known Australopithecus “Lucy”. Come and explore the story of Earth from its very beginning through the present human age. When leaving the show-rooms, we hope you will take with you an even greater appreciation of the Earth than before.
