Museo Civico di Storia Naturale

The Civic Museum of Natural History in Milan was established in 1838, at the behest of the naturalist Giuseppe De Cristoforis. It is one of the most important naturalistic museums in Europe. The Museum is located in three rooms covering Italian environments, parks and nature reserves. The Museum presents an exhibition of Natural History dedicated to zoology and the main natural environments. In 1986, an African archaeology study center was also created inside the museum.
