An amazing timeline tell us the the Brazilian and the Pantanal History, since the discovery and colonization until nowadays. This is one of the most impressive details of this exhibition, as it makes it possible for both Brazilians and foreign visitors learn a little better about our roots.

One section of the exhibition shows the differences of the Pantanal's annual rainfall cycle and its three different seasons, the dry, intermediate and rainy seasons, and how this creates many different life opportunities to all species inhabiting the area.

There is still in the Center a fantastic introduction to the Pantanal's biodiversity, with wonderful photos of our fauna, including all the groups, like arthropods, fish - with a creative virtual aquarium, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, and a special room with the nocturnal creatures.
