Museum of Natural History

Milan Natural History Museum was founded in 1844. It is located in a building of the XIX century, built in neo-Romanesque style with Gothic elements, near the historic city gate of the Port of Venice. It is the oldest museum in Milan and one of the most important natural science museums in Italy.

It was based on the collections of two Milanese researchers. The extensive exposition of the museum is presented in 23 exhibition halls and consists of such sections: Invertebrate Zoology, Vertebrate Zoology, Natural History of Man, Mineralogy and Paleontology. Observe surprisingly believably made stuffed animals and skeletons of dinosaurs. The museum collection is interesting for both researchers and the general public. Various natural landscapes inhabited by ancient animals are reproduced here.

The dioramas and exhibits of the museum look so natural that its visit resembles a time travel. The unique collections of the museum are constantly replenished with new exhibits.
