The '''Museum of Natural Sciences of Barcelona''' (in [[Catalan language|Catalan]], ''Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona''; in [[Spanish language|Spanish]], ''Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Barcelona'') is a [[natural science]] museum located in [[Barcelona]], created in March 2011 by the merge of four institutions. Out of the four, three were already existing entities:

* In the [[Forum Building]], erected in 2004, the new ''Museu Blau''<ref>[http://bit.ly/2UJ6jZK Ayuntamiento de Barcelona:] El [[Forum Building|edificio Fórum]] se incorpora al Museo de Ciencias Naturales. </ref> ('Blue Museum'), that opened doors to the public in 2011. The term ''Museu Blau'' was abandoned in 2017 when the Museum changed its name to "Museum of Natural Sciences of Barcelona".<ref>[http://bit.ly/2ShdD21 El Museu de Ciències Naturals tindrà una coberta verda la primavera del 2019 : Servei de Premsa] , Barcelona Municipality official [[press kit]], 12/08/2018.</ref>
* The [[Botanical Institute of Barcelona]] (sited in [[Montjuïc]]), which administrates two botanical gardens: the [[Historical Botanical Garden of Barcelona|Historical Botanical Garden]] (founded 1930) and the [[Jardí Botànic de Barcelona|Botanical garden of Barcelona]] (founded 1999).
* The [[Museu Martorell]], founded in 1882 as the Geology Museum and closed to the public since 2010.
* The ''Laboratori de Natura'' ('Nature Laboratory'), at the [[Castle of the Three Dragons]], which hosted the Zoology Museum from 1920 to 2010.

The new museum that was inaugurated in March 2011, then called the ''Museu Blau'' (literally, the 'Blue Museum'), receives now the same name of the institution as a whole, the Museum of Natural Sciences of Barcelona (''Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona''). It is hosted at the [[Forum Building]], in the area in Barcelona known as the ''Parc del Fòrum'' (Catalan for 'the Forum Park'). The museum at the Forum Building keeps and maintains the collections of zoology that previously were on exhibition at the [[Castle of the Three Dragons]], in the ''[[Parc de la Ciutadella]]''.<ref>Quelart, R.
