The exhibition starts by describing Aínsa, the Sobrarbe region and the Pyrenees mountain range.

Following this it shows us, in a very visual way, the natural and cultural wealth of the Pyrenees, its diverse ecosystems, its people and customs, and how to conserve them.

After this introduction, the exhibition will transport us to the mountain, invite us to enter the forests, rocky peaks and peaks of the Pyrenees and discover the multitude of life in each environment.

In addition, we will discover the secrets of the great, winged treasure of this mountain range, the Lammergeier.
