  • Introduction
  • Premsa

Poison, the means that certain organisms use in order to survive, has terrified and fascinated humans since the beginning of time.

The exhibition ‘Enverinats’ (Poisoned) introduces us to the world of venoms, showing us how they work and how they are used, dispelling false beliefs and revealing little-known aspects of these toxic substances, which can kill a person in minutes but can also cure diseases.

 

The show gives visitors a close-up view of nearly 50 living poisonous animals, including rattlesnakes, tarantulas and scorpions. We can learn how they behave, why they attack and the place they occupy on the scale of dangerousness. These animals are accompanied by a wide range of plants, mushrooms and minerals, as well as audiovisuals and objects that enable us to discover the facts about poisons from the standpoints of biology, physiology and chemistry. This is, then, a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and respecting these organisms, which are as important as any other for maintaining balance in ecosystems and which, nevertheless, have often been systematically eradicated due to their bad reputation.
