The new setup, evocative and engaging, features a modern and original museographic design. The complexity of the content is mediated by multi-level communication where the visitor plays an active role and interacts with the unusual and captivating exhibition layout.
The museum is organized into three sections, each essentially a museum within a museum: “On the Trail of Life,” dedicated to fossils and paleontology.
“Collecting to Amaze, Collecting to Study” tells the story of naturalistic collecting and the birth of scientific museology.
“Life’s Strategies” illustrates the variety of living forms and the complexity of adaptations and specializations. On the ground floor, there is a rich scientific library and two important exhibition spaces: the Cetacean Gallery, which houses the skeleton of a fin whale and a young sperm whale, and the Tegnùe Aquarium.
