Full description

This natural history museum, dating back to 1775, brings together fossils, skeletons, animals, artefacts and sculptures in rooms that visitors describe as well laid out and curated. It belongs to a wider complex that includes a botanical garden and a science observatory, and reviewers mention a combined ticket for the museum and garden.

Some captions are in Italian only, though some include English. The quiet atmosphere and educational displays make it a good fit for families and curious visitors.

Reviews

It was a pretty nice place. Nicely layed out and curated. Just a note, a lot of information and captions are in Italian(some do have English translations). The fossils alone though are a sight to see. They have a lot of mammoth and elephant fossils. The whale exhibit was also very neat- I assume it’s newer. It wasn’t…
