But that is not all - the museum also has a reproduction of the Wunderkammer (Cabinet of Curiosities) and Zoological Cabinet that formed the museum's original nucleus, enabling visitors to experience the allure of scientific museums of the past.

Of course, visitors should not miss the other fossils, including the Acynodon adriaticus, an extraordinary oyster-eating crocodile, and the ancient Carsosaurus Marchesetti, a mysterious primitive marine reptile. 

Other must-see attractions include the Human Evolution Room, the Giants of Earth Sea Rooms (containing elephants, monk seals, sperm whales, whales and the mythical narwhal), the Theatre of Skeletons and the Cycle of Life Room. Finally, the visit can be concluded with a dip into the sea, among sharks, coral, giant crabs and the Coelacanth, a deep-sea ancestral fish and true living fossil.
