Tips from locals
amazing collection of animal specimens & amazing 17th-century wax models of the body, great for curious tourists, artists, and kids alike.
One of the least visited, most interesting museums in town. Home of the largest european collection of embalmed animals. The collection was started at the end of the XIX century.
Beautiful museum of natural history, it starts from single-celled organisms and reaches the big mammals. Thousands of specimens, certainly many, especially fish, being embalmed are not exceptional but the visit is really worth it! At the moment there is also a beautiful mineral exhibition! Go there!
