Natural History Museum of Milan
Porta Venezia, Milan
"Founded in 1838, this fascinating museum features a vast collection of fossils, dinosaur skeletons, minerals, and rare animal specimens."
In a city famous for Renaissance art and contemporary fashion, it’s easy to forget the scientific impact Milan made worldwide. Naturalists Giuseppe de Cristoforis and Giorgio Jan founded this world-class science museum, donating fossils, reptiles, insects, and other artifacts. You can observe 2.5 million species in the Neo-Gothic building, which was designed to resemble other European science museums. Look for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, which rotates annually.
