Intro

The Cantonal Museum of Natural History is an organ of the Department of Territory of the Canton of Ticino.

  •

The Cantonal Museum of Natural History is an organ of the Department of Territory of the Canton of Ticino. Its task is to research, document, study and disseminate knowledge related to the natural heritage of the region. The Museum carries out regular research, manages a heritage of over half a million exhibits (minerals, rocks, fossils, animals, plants, fungi) and has a specialized library. It acts as an important reference point for the individual citizen, schools, scientific institutes, associations, tourism and public administration. The permanent exhibition (1'100 m2) offers an overview of the different natural components of the region: large reconstructions of the environment (dioramas) present the most significant animals and plants, while some sections are dedicated to rocks, minerals and fossils, including the famous reptiles of Monte San Giorgio. A special feature of the Museum is the large section dedicated to mushrooms.
