Museo Naturalistico Parco Sasso Simone e Simoncello
Dioramas of animals in their natural habitats, mineral display cases and walks in the heart of the Parco Naturalistico Sasso Simone e Simoncello.
The Museo Naturalistico Parco Sasso Simone e Simoncello stands near the Parco Naturale Interregionale del Sasso Simone e Simoncello. The museum holds several sections: one reproduces animals in dioramas, in their natural habitats; others are devoted to geology (with display cases of minerals found in the park) and to finds collected during activities carried out by visitors (Museo del Presente).
Rounding out the offer are a library and Micromega Lab, a laboratory for exploring the links between the natural world and science.
