Next there is the ancient Museo civico di storia naturale
Corso Venezia, 55, 20121 Milano
We found on the internet this museum that seemed so interesting, it put forward its archaeological side “the discovery of the dinosaurs” which was founded in 1838 when naturalist Giuseppe de Cristoforis donated his collections to the city. The course of this exhibition allowed us to learn a lot more about their way of life, and their behavior towards other dinosaurs.
When we arrived, we were very surprised by the variety of things to discover, so we highly recommend this exciting visit.
Arriving on site, we were very surprised by the variety of things to discover, so we highly recommend this exciting visit. The beginning of this route started with a room full of stones of different colors. It was beautiful and we were curious to know where these stones came from. Afterwards we went to a room that showed the dinosaurs in detail, and really explained their way of life and how they survived in the wild. We cannot imagine that these creatures were present on earth before us, it intrigued us. We can say that without them, we would not be here today. Then we spent a lot of time in the rooms which presented the different stuffed animals in their life scenes. It was really essential to discover, the sets were really realistic and very well designed. The wildlife has been depicted in everyday life, running, hunting, eating, bathing, so it really feels like being in nature among them. As we progressed, we could see lots of insects from different families and more or less gigantic sea animals.
This museum is impressive and informative for only 5€, what we appreciated was that there were few visitors and therefore we were able to analyze and photograph freely. We weren’t in a hurry, we were able to enjoy examining each piece.
The museum is rated 4,4/5 on different advice’s sites.
