Museo di Paleobotanica ed Etnobotanica dell'Orto Botanico
The Museum of Paleobotanica and Ethnobotany of Naples is located in the Castle, a building dating from the 16th to 17th century. The two sections of the museum are: the Paleobotanic and the Ethnobotanical one. In the first section, the Paleobotanic one, fossil finds are collected that demonstrate the evolution of terrestrial plants from the Silurian, 400 million years ago to the present day. The ethnobotany section, on the other hand, exposes collections of objects in plant material from Mexico, the Amazon, Borneo, Sumatra and the Philippines.
