About us
The Museum of Nature South Tyrol is located in the former Maximilian Administrative Building in the northeast corner of the old part of Bozen/Bolzano. It is the only provincial museum for Natural History and the central location for the documentation and collection of specimens in South Tyrol.
Its Permanent Exhibition takes visitors on a trip through the biological and cultural history of one of the most interesting regions of Europe, and provides striking visual depictions of the formation and appearance of the unique South Tyrolean mountain and valley landscapes and their habitats.
The research and collection projects conducted by the Museum concentrate on following disciplines: Earth Sciences, Botany, and Zoology.
