Until 30th November, the Principe Felipe Science Museum will be home to a photographic exhibition entitled Las Huellas del Tiempo, produced by the San Francisco Exploratorium. This exhibition is based on the book Traces of time: The beauty of change in nature, a collection of thirty photographs that show the profound traces left by time on different aspects of nature.
The exhibition invites visitors to discover places where nature has inscribed messages from the past: the rings of a tree trunk, the capricious forms of a stone, the arrangement of layers of ice, the strata of rock in the Grand Canyon and indeed any of the forms from the natural world which act a record of past events. These traces, not always visible at first sight, can reveal information that dates back millions of years.
