Museo del Lupo, Natural history museum in Civitella Alfedena, Italy.
Museo del Lupo is a natural history museum in the small village of Civitella Alfedena dedicated to the Apennine wolf. The collection includes mounted specimens, photographs of local wildlife, and informative displays that explain the animal's life and behavior.
The facility was founded in 1976 to study and protect the rare Apennine wolves. Its work is closely linked to the nearby national park, which focuses on safeguarding this endangered animal population.
The museum reveals how people in Abruzzo have lived alongside wolves for generations and how the region now works to protect them. The displays connect old village stories with the conservation work happening in the surrounding landscape today.
Access to the exhibits is straightforward, though it helps to check opening times beforehand as hours change with the seasons. A visit typically takes one to two hours depending on how thoroughly you explore the displays.
Next to the building, there is an enclosed woodland area where real Apennine wolves can be observed in a semi-natural setting. This allows visitors to see the animals without the conservation concerns tied to fully wild populations.
