South Tyrol Museum of Natural History.
The palace that today houses the Provincial Museum
of Natural History was formerly the administrative
office building of Emperor Maximilian I. The natural
and environmental history of South Tyrol is exhibited
on two floors with an area of about 1,000 sq. m. (11,000
sq. ft.) Interesting featured exhibitions are displayed
on the ground floor (about 200 sq. m. / 2,200 sq.
ft.) There are also instructional events. The itinerary
through the exhibit takes the form of a journey through
time, assisted by models, dioramas, experiments, and
multimedia stations that shed light on the geological
history of South Tyrol and the formation and development
of the natural habitat.
