Colección Natural

2013 The Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos administers the only Natural History Museum in Lima. This institution is under the supervision of the Ministry of Education of Peru. Colección Natural (Spanish for Natural Collection) documents the scientific research spaces of said institution, which teachers, students, and graduates of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos operate. The laboratories correspond to the different areas of the various science disciplines linked to studying and understanding nature. The Museum of Natural History research laboratories are places to which spectators do not have access, only research personnel. These environments host millions of organic archives, accumulating and aging in the museum spaces. The scientific research process is carried out based on constant and objective observation. Through the static look that reflects the atmospheres of the spaces in the Colección Natural photography project, an analogy between the images and the feeling of the governs timelessness in the environments is evident.
