Extintions. Stories of catastrophes and other opportunities at MUSE - Museo delle Scienze, Trento

With "Estinzioni. Storie di catastrofi e altre opportunità" (Extinctions. Stories of catastrophes and other opportunities), MUSE starts an ambitious project that encourages a debate between quests and thoughts about sixth mass extinction - the ecological crisis we are witnessing - and the dynamics of the big five paleontological extinctions of the past 500 million years.

The project arises from an impressive work of research and selection of the most relevant original vertebrate samples, extinct in historical time and preserved in Italian museums (Turin, Rome, Florence, Ferrara, Treviso, Voghera, Padua, Verona and Trento): starting from the skeleton of a huge sauropod dinosaur (the one and only of its kind uncased in an Italian museum) that welcomes visitors at the beginning of the exhibition, to the famous skull of “Guattari I” Homo neanderthalensis, the best preserved one in Italy.

The collection of the all-original displayed records and the stories that they bring along, will unveil the destiny of the most charismatic expired species, deepening at the same time some unfamiliar, but inspiring stories.
The exhibition itinerary is enriched by refined multimedia installations, videos and original animations, interviews and interactive corners. Among the unreleased records, the exhibition displays some excellent speeches, as the one of Severn Cullis-Suzuki, a committed environmental activist, who “silenced” the world during the speech she held at the UN in 1992, when she was just 12 years old.
The whole exhibition's collection provides the main theme of a brand new project in Italy, in terms of connection between paleontology and sociology, conservation biology and economy, offering a clear analysis of the dynamics that dangerously associate the big past crisis events with the current era we are living in.
