    The Natural Science Museum in Voghera: palaeontology, minerals and biodiversity in the Oltrepò Pavese area

    civico Museo di Scienze Naturali di Voghera

    In the heart of the city of Voghera, inside the historic former cavalry barracks, is a precious place for lovers of nature, fossils and earth sciences: the Natural Science Museum, one of the most complete in the Oltrepò Pavese area. Born from a private initiative, it is now a civic reality open to all, where science meets the history of the territory.

    A museum born from a shared passion

    The museum was founded in 1971 by a group of friends united by their love of palaeontology and mineralogy. After years of work and collections, it was completed in 1978, when the first section, entirely dedicated to fossils, was opened. It was not until the early 1980s that the museum officially became a civic museum, thanks to the complete donation of the collections to the municipality.

    A journey through fossils, crystals, animals and archaeology

    The exhibition is divided into several sections:

    • Palaeontology: the oldest and most complete, with fossil specimens that tell the geological history of the Oltrepò Pavese and beyond.
    • Mineralogy: a very rich collection, recently expanded thanks to a generous private donation. Crystals, rocks and minerals to observe and discover.
    • Zoology: introduced in more recent years, it houses a varied exhibition of animal species that allows visitors to learn more about the biodiversity of the area.
    • Archaeology: a section currently being reorganised, intended to complete the museum offer with artefacts and evidence of human presence in the past.

    The museum is also a centre for research and scientific dissemination, and collaborates with schools, organisations and institutions to promote environmental and naturalistic culture.
