M[UV]HN will also be a place for research and university training, as well as for the general public. The museum is provisionally in charge of Anna García Forner.

Most of the funds come from the old Geology Museum of the University. Some of the pieces were part of the Natural History Museum of the Universitat de València, which collected scientific assets of the University since the second half of the 19th century until 1932, when a devastating fired destroyed it. The fact that it is a University Museum means that the samples exposed are just a small part of the whole collection owned by the University.

The museum area spans 900 m2 divided in two floors. The building is dedicated to the three basic principles of a museum: exhibit, train and research.  In the ground floor, permanent and specialized exhibitions are set in three different areas. 

The TV of the Universitat de València (MediaUni) has made a promotional video for this new museum. It addresses its story and includes interviews.  Link to the video: http://links.uv.es/tvELD2O
