Museum of Paleontology

The  Museum of Paleontology , is the newest of the three Museums of Earth Sciences. It was officially founded in 1928 when the Chair of Paleontology was established. The previous history is closely interwoven with that of the Museum of Geology, from which it was separated. Currently in this museum are preserved over 100,000 fossils found both in Italy and abroad. The museum is divided into two areas, one open to the public, and one laboratory for researchers. The exhibition area consists of two large halls, where over a thousand fossils of plants and animals both invertebrates and vertebrates are exposed.
