Dear friends! We invite you to the Hazine National Art Gallery to the exhibition of natural amber inclusions “Prehistoric insects in amber”. By visiting the exhibition, you will see with your own eyes amazingly beautiful amber nuggets with the inclusion of ancient arthropods who lived on Earth about 500,000 centuries ago!
Insects in amber are an invaluable gift of nature, a kind of time machine that allows you to look deep into the times and has conveyed to our days in an unchanged form the representatives of the insect world of the prehistoric era.
The exhibition presents a variety of insects, in their original form preserved to this day in natural amber - succinite, whose age is 40-50 million years, which corresponds to the Paleogene - the geological period following the Melov. During this period, after the extinction of a large number of reptiles, a rapid flowering of prehistoric mammals began. Belemnites are still found in the seas, and giant running diatrim birds of prey are widespread on the earth. During this period, bizarre mastodons, glyptodons, megateriums, indricoteries lived on Earth. Since then, the Earth has experienced many ice ages and has changed the position of the continents.
Each exhibit is contained in a glass pyramid equipped with solar panels, spotlights and jewelry lens systems that allow you to see the inhabitants of the ancient world with detail to the villi. Paleoentomological taxonomy and scientific and cognitive information will allow you to find out what kind of arthropod came into amber and the features of life of this species.
At the exhibition “Prehistoric Insects in Amber” you can look into the faceted eyes of the ancient inhabitants of our planet who lived on it 40-50 million years ago.
