Museo di Storia Naturale


Yesterday we visited the Natural Science Museum. It's not too big but it has a long history and quite interesting collections. Francesco Calzolari, a veronese chemist, was among the first in Europe to establish a small natural science museum in the sixteenth century. Throughout the centuries other naturalists continued to care for and improve the original collection.
There is a huge collection of fossils from Bolca which show that millions of years ago the whole Pianura Padana was sea! 
This photo shows another stunning piece: the skeleton head of a huge Mammouth found a few km from Verona!
