The National Antarctic Museum of Trieste, inaugurated in 2004, is dedicated to the history of Antarctic explorations and marine geology and geophysics research.

This little gem, located inside the park of San Giovanni, allows you to discover all the magic of the ice continent: from the original historical maps to the stories of the first pioneers Robert Falcon Scott, Roald Amundsen and Ernest Henry Shackleton, Italian expeditions from the early twentieth century to the latest organised by the National Research Project in Antarctica (PNRA).

A new room has recently been inaugurated dedicated to Commander Giovanni Ajmone Cat, an Italian explorer and navigator who, in 1969 and 1973, twice reached Antarctica with the motorboat "San Giuseppe Due", becoming the first Italian to accomplish this feat.

Note

Inside the museum visitors can buy Mis-Mas bags made by Sartoria Sociale Lister.
What are they? They are bags made from PVC banners that the University of Trieste printed for specific events, such as Notte dei Ricercatori (Researchers' night) and Trieste Next. So not only can you discover Antarctica, but you can also buy a unique, colourful and exclusive bag!
