We were here in Science Week. That means we were allowed to visit the museum for free. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot!

The theme of the Kosmos museum, whose name is Greek for “order”, is that of a voyage: an endeavor undertaken in search of knowledge. Travelling leads to the discovery of new geographical lands, but also to that of new scientific and mental territory. In showcasing the variety of nature, the Kosmos exhibition brings together reality and imagination to give every visitor the chance to encounter unknown phenomena. The first room is dedicated to the anatomical description of humans and animals. The rooms that follow (2, 3 and 4) are about Lazzaro Spallanzani, whose exploration and research brought so much prestige to the original Museum of Natural History that he founded in Pavia. The second segment (rooms 5-9) illustrates the development of concepts now at the basis of modern Biology. The exhibition closes with a focus on current concerns with the protection of biodiversity and the future of the planet (rooms 5-9).
