Natural History Civic Museum

PLEASE NOTICE: the museum is closed until further notice.

Dinosaurs, minerals, plants, molluscs or gigantic animals: if you’re mad about science don't miss out on the Natural History Museum in Milan!

The museum is housed in a neo-Gothic palazzo inspired by the London-style of the British Natural History Museum. In 1943 it was targeted by bombings that triggered a devastating fire, hence, the current appearance is due to a massive restoration in 2013. It has 23 exhibition rooms spread over 5,500 m2 where visitors can explore the secrets of Mineralogy and Geology, Paleontology and Zoology.

The unique layout of the themes of the evolution of Life on Earth and the relationship between organisms and the environment enable visitors of all ages to experience a wonderful adventure in discovering natural history. For younger guests there is, of course, the beloved dinosaur room!

Be prepared to be astounded by the life-size skeletons of the most gargantuan creatures from prehistory!
