User profile User profile AnnaOmedesDirector Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona I am a biologist and a doctor in acoustic behaviour of animals. During my entire career I have been designing and managing natural sciences museology and museography projects. I have been the project manager of the Museum’s new site, the “Museu Blau”, and co-curator and coordinator of the 3,000 sqm permanent exhibition Planet Life. I work with my team to make the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona a truly inclusive one, both scientifically and socially. I believe that powerful projects are only possible through collaboration, both local and International.
