It is a very nice building with interesting exhibitions - at my time there, the Nature Photo of the Year exhibition was on display. Unfortunately, renovations made the museum a bit harder to access (at 2025.08.28 it could not be entered through the park) but the ticket I bought also let me enter the Palmhouse and the Butterfly house in the park which were two other amazing experiences.

Veramente storico con tutti i minerali e meteoriti e gli animali imbalsamati stupendi (solitamente non mi piacciono ma questi sembrano vivi !) . Interessantissimo. Bellissime anche le fotografie. Lo consiglio. Noi avevamo i biglietti inclusi nella card trasporti + museo, ma non c'era comunque fila .

Museo muy bonito y con multitud de animales. Aunque se supone que había un mamut, nos comentaron que ya no estaba debido a que movieron el museo a dependencias más pequeñas. Aún así, hay muchos animales disecados y otras rarezas en botes. Recomendado.
