Museo TAMux

The Museum of Natural History of Tamaulipas "TAMux" begins activities in February 2004, with the basic objective of being the main center for scientific dissemination of the state, forming part of the circuit of interactive museums in the country. The museum, since its opening, has 5 interactive rooms, in which the origins and history of the universe, life on our planet and the appearance and evolution of the human being are told based on scientific theories. In addition to the thematic rooms, the museum has an auditorium for 120 people, a place used for the presentation of scientific conferences and videos; a room for temporary exhibitions, for plastic and scientific exhibitions; and an open-air theater (acoustic shell), with a capacity for 1,000 people. When the museum was born, the planetarium of Ciudad Victoria "Dr. Ramiro Iglesias Leal ", in operation since 1992, became part of it. The name of the museum, "TAMux", a Huasteco language meaning "meeting point" also represents one of the main goals of the institution: to be a place of meeting, of coexistence, recreation and knowledge for visitors. - See more at: http://itca.gob.mx/unidades-culturales/museo-de-historia-natural-de-tamaulipas-tamux/#sthash.5SgpFVb7.dpuf
