Located in the heart of Padua, the Museum of Nature and Humankind is the largest scientific university museum in Italy with over 4,000 square metres of permanent and temporary exhibition space. Visitors are accompanied on a geological journey through space and time as they walk among the Baroque stucco and stunning frescoes while encountering ancient collections and interactive displays.  

The museum houses the rich mineralogical, geological, palaeontological, zoological, and anthropological collections curated and cared for by University of Padua scholars over the centuries.
