THE AMAZON IN BARCELONA
The Flooded Forest is a recreation of a section of Amazonian rain-forest inside the spectacular Cosmo Caixa Science Museum, housed in a recently restored one hundred year old Modernist building. A glass-enclosed spiral ramp runs down six floors to the entrance to the most alluring attraction of the museum, a recreation of Amazonian jungle in a glasshouse covering some 1,000 m2. With over 100 species of animal and plant life, the Flooded Forest allows you to see this rare and vanishing ecosystem from all its perspectives, above ground and underwater.
Address: CosmoCaixa Science Museum. C/Teodor Roviralta, 47-51, Barcelona (Spain)

This is a very interesting piece. Thanks for sharing the photos and showing me something I didn't know even existed.

That is really neat. Yeah! I knew they had something like this in Europe somewhere. Now I know.

Thank you all for your feedback! And sorry for not giving signs of life for so long, but I got the flue and I’ve been out for count for 10 days. I’m very happy to be back on the brink (of whatever) again ;-)

I hope you didn't wind up in Hospital Sant Pau... I still have nightmares of that place. Stay strong, you're our gal in Barna...
