From discovering bats to exploring the Milky Way. The Granollers Museum of Natural Sciences works towards the conservation, study and dissemination of science around some very diverse subjects: palaeontology, geology, botany, meteorology and, in particular, zoology. And specifically, one of the most important collections it houses is that of butterflies from around the world and tropical beetles.

Visitors can also discover the permanent exhibition of fossils from the late Triassic site of Montseny (250 million years ago), samples from the mining of minerals at Gualba, Matagalls and Vallcarca, and a herbarium of lichen.

Since 1987, the headquarters of the Museum has been an old modernista tower known as La Tela, or the Casa Pius Anfres, to which a new building of more than 2,000 m² was added in 2012, making it one of the leading museums of natural sciences in Spain. The garden that surrounds the complex has a display of botany and geology from the Vallès Oriental region.

In the new facilities there is a space set aside for the firmament. This is the planetarium, with a dome 6 metres in diameter. Here you can see projections of the night sky from both the past and the future!

In addition to these facilities, the Museum also manages the Nature Room at Can Cabanyes, in the Can Cabanyes Nature Reserve, and the Granollers Meteorological Station on Puig de les Forques.
