Paduan Nocturnes at the Museum of Nature and Humankind

Paduan Nocturnes 2026, offers four dates to discover the Museo della Natura e dell'Uomo in Padova through a guided tour dedicated to the history of the Earth, biodiversity and the relationship between humans and the environment.

The appointment is at 6 pm at the Museo della Natura e dell'Uomo, in Corso Garibaldi 39, in Padova.
Durante the tour, which lasts about an hour and a half, it will be possible to visit all sections of the museum, including the historic part of Palazzo Cavalli.

The Museum offers an engaging scientific narrative on planet Earth as a constantly evolving system, enriched by a multimedia, interactive set-up suitable for both adults and children.

The exhibition itinerary enhances a heritage of about 200 thousand naturalistic and anthropological finds, built over the centuries and now brought together thanks to the merger of four historic Paduan collections: Mineralogy, Geology and Paleontology, Zoology and Anthropology.

The Museo della Natura e dell'Uomo represents a place of scientific participation and citizenship that the University of Padova, at the end of the celebrations for the 800th anniversary of its foundation, makes available to schools, the city and visitors.
