The Natural History Pavilion of the University of Almería hosts this Friday, November 13, at 11:00 a.m., the twinning ceremony with the Paleontological Museum of the Whale of the Viator Town Council. The event includes the unveiling of a commemorative plaque and a guided tour of the pavilion's model. Admission is free until full capacity is reached, according to the University of Almería.
The programme continues on Saturday, November 21, at 12:00 p.m., with the outreach lecture "La Ballena de Viator. Del fondo del mar a las vitrinas del Museo de la Ballena de Viator", given by Juan Ibáñez Maroto.
The third event will be on Friday, November 27, at 11:00 a.m., at the Paleontological Museum of the Whale of Viator, where another commemorative plaque of the twinning between both institutions will be unveiled.
Three events to bring paleontological heritage closer
The initiative seeks to bring the history of the territory closer to the public through its fossils and collections. The Museum of the Whale of Viator preserves the remains of a cetacean found in the municipality, while the Natural History Pavilion of the University of Almería gathers educational materials on the natural heritage of the province.
The twinning between both institutions is formalised with these three meetings, which combine the institutional side with scientific outreach. The lecture on November 21 will be the only activity open exclusively to the general public, while the two twinning events include the unveiling of the plaques and the guided tours.
No prior registration is required to attend the lecture on November 21, according to the information provided by the University of Almería.
