This museum functions in the Miguel Lillo Foundation. It is divided in two sectors, namely, Geology, with its three areas Mineralogy, Paleobotany, and paleozoology, and Biology, with its large areas: Botany and Zoology. A geochronological chart describes the origin of the Earth as from the Big Bang, and contains a synopsis by eras referring to the different life forms in each of them. Amongst the most noteworthy exhibits, there are some amphibians that are over 200 million years old, as well as dinosaurs - kings of the Mesozoic era- whose skeletons were assembled and missing parts carefully reconstructed.
