Turin Museum of Natural History
Turin Museum of Natural History, Natural history museum in Central Turin, Italy.
The Regional Museum of Natural Sciences occupies a seventeenth-century building that previously functioned as the San Giovanni Battista Hospital in Turin.
Established in 1978, the museum gathered extensive collections from the University of Turin, including zoology specimens and comparative anatomy materials.
The museum maintains sections dedicated to zoology, entomology, botany, minerals, geology, and paleontology, representing the natural diversity of Italy.
Located at Via Giolitti 36, the museum opens from Monday to Sunday between 10 AM and 6 PM, except Tuesdays, with adult tickets priced at 5 euros.
The institution preserves a seven-meter mastodon model, created from fossils discovered in Villafranca d'Asti, demonstrating the prehistoric life of Piedmont.
