Museo tridentino di scienze naturali

Museo tridentino di scienze naturali is a natural science museum in Trento with exhibits arranged across multiple floors designed to resemble a mountain landscape. The displays cover geological history, natural sciences, and biodiversity in a way that is easy to understand.

The museum started as Museo Civico in 1846 and moved through different locations over time as it grew. In 2013 it relocated to the modern MUSE building where it operates today.

The museum connects visitors with the natural world of the Alpine region through its collections of plants, animals, and minerals found in the surrounding mountains. These displays show how the landscape shapes life and help people understand the environment they live in.

The building is located on Corso del Lavoro e della Scienza and can be reached on foot by following the main roads through the city. Different areas cater to various age groups, so you can take time to explore what interests you most.

The museum displays a large whale skeleton that catches visitors' attention as soon as they enter the main exhibition area. There is also a dedicated space called Maxi Ooh specifically designed for very small children.
