GEOLOGY MUSEUM BOLOGNA

Thanks to the important work of Giovanni Capellini, the first to hold the chair of Geology in Italy, the Museum inaugurated officially in 1881 and was enriched with geo-aethological finds from all over the world, of scientific, educational and unsurpassed importance.

At present, the collection witnesses more than five hundred years of didactic and research activity, with a heritage of nearly one million pieces preserved in the original furnishings of the late nineteenth century, including rocks, plants, invertebrates and fossil vertebrates.
In the rooms you can admire:

    the spectacular skeletons of the Pliococene buried Mastodon,
    the rich collection of eco-fish from Mount Bolca,
    Pliocene whales and the imposing dinosaur Giurassico Diplodocus, twenty-six feet tall and four tall.

It is today the most important Italian geological and paleontological museum for vastness and importance of collections.
The museum is part of the Alma Mater Studiorum University of the University of Bologna - SMA
