After the nearly 10 years long restoration process, the Museum of Natural History in Venice has recently reopened with a new and intriguing exposition along the eleven halls of the Fondaco dei Turchi.The Museum of National History collections include about two million pieces, which cover a historic period of 700 million years. The collections have been divided in three parts:
1. The trail of life, or paleontology: the giant dinosaur and the Sahara expedition by Giancarlo Ligabue open the exhibition, which presents in chronology the appearance of the different forms of life on Earth.
2. Collect to amaze, or the evolution of the naturalistic collecting. One of the several new things in the museum is the space dedicated to Venetian explorers and collectors from the 19th century, Giovanni Miani and Giuseppe De Reali, and from today, Giancarlo Ligabue. An area is also dedicated to the birth and development of naturalistic museums.
3. The strategies of life, or forms and functions in living beings.
