Museum of Paleontology launches virtual store is not news you see in the media every day. That way, when that happens, it's to clap your feet. Because recently a museum from Ceará launched an e-commerce that sells fossil replicas.

The Plácido Cidade Nunes Museum of Paleontology (MPPCN) houses a collection from the region of Santana do Cariri. Belonging to the Regional University of Cariri, it keeps geological, biological and paleontological documents, among others. In addition, it also has petrified specimens of plants and animals such as fish, reptiles, amphibians and molluscs, and various replicas.

The idea of ​​the virtual store is mainly aimed at valuing the local culture and artisans, who produce some items for sale, providing them with a better quality of life. Furthermore, with e-commerce, it is expected that more people will be able to buy unique pieces with the identity of the Cariri territory. In this way, it contributes to scientific and cultural dissemination, and to social transformation. And, finally, you also contribute to the maintenance of the museum.

PALEONTOLOGY MUSEUM LAUNCHES VIRTUAL STORE: GET TO KNOW THE PROJECT

The MPPCN online store currently has three departments:

  • Coffee Mugs: items with drawings and insignia from the museum and tourist attractions in Santana do Cariri;
  • Books: the department exists, but the museum has not yet added any items;
  • replicas: fossils of prehistoric plants and animals from the Cariri region.

The project thus contemplates local science, culture and art. And so, now consumers from anywhere in Brazil can take a memory from the museum or a replica without leaving home.
