Abstract: | The research carried out in natural science museums is considered here fundamental both for the advancement of scientific knowledge and to highlight the importance of conserving heritage and promoting collective awareness of respect for nature. On the one hand, the research carried out helps to obtain a deeper knowledge of the collections themselves that are already guarded and, by extension, of the history of the museum itself. On the other hand, this dynamic generates new collections through various research projects. Furthermore, the research activity attracts the attention of external researchers, who eventually donate similar collections to the museum. All this enriching its heritage collection and the knowledge generated from it. The movable palaeontological and geological heritage of the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona exemplifies the importance of maintaining and promoting lines of research in the field of collections. Nowadays, research at the museum focuses on the study of marine palaeobiodiversity, especially past microscopic life, such as foraminifera, geoarchaeology, the metallogenesis of the Earth's mantle and metals critical in the energy transition, generating collections of international reference in these outstanding fields. |
