Museo Civico di Zoologia

The museum maintains over 5 million preserved specimens, ranging from tiny mollusk shells to a 16-meter whale skeleton displayed in the exhibition halls.

Established in 1932, the museum inherited collections from the Royal University of Rome and the Pontifical Archiginnasio, forming a significant scientific institution.

The exhibition spaces include specialized sections on coral reefs, Roman wetlands, and animal adaptations, presenting zoological diversity through educational displays.

Located at Via Ulisse Aldrovandi 18, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 19:00, with reduced admission prices for Rome residents.

The Skeleton Hall houses an extensive collection of comparative osteology specimens, making it a primary research center for zoological studies in Italy.
