The Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali in Turin is one of the city’s key institutions dedicated to exploring and preserving the natural world. Founded in 1978, it was created to house the University of Turin’s historic scientific collections and to promote research, education and public awareness about biodiversity and environmental conservation. The museum occupies a seventeenth‑century building that once served as the hospital of San Giovanni Battista, giving its exhibitions a distinctive historical settingWikipedia. After a long period of restoration following a 2013 fire, the museum has reopened with renewed spaces and a focus on zoology, botany, geology, mineralogy and paleontology, supported by extensive archives and a specialist scientific library. Its mission is to bridge the gap between humans and nature through exhibitions, educational programmes and research initiatives that highlight the urgency of protecting natural heritagemrsntorino.it. Today it stands as a vital centre for understanding the richness and fragility of the natural environment.
