Venezia: Museo di Storia Naturale
I know, if
you’re going to visit Venezia, you
probably do not have dinosaurs’ skeletons in mind, but you may be a science
nerd or a parent and then things take a different perspective.
Yesterday
we had the pleasure to chase our gorgeous four year old through the exhibition
spaces of the Museum of Natural History and despite the expected hurry (I mean,
the little one had to take a ferryboat - Vaporino
as soon as possible), we actually enjoyed our visit.
So yes,
while I am not a bone person either and I kind of walked hastily through the
taxidermist rooms which smelled of century old dust and forlorn animal souls, I
appreciated Mr. Ouranosaurus nigeriensis welcoming us to the Museum and totally enjoyed the deep blue fish room.
The museum
is kids friendly, meaning that the staff is actually used to tiny barbarians
hovering everywhere and they eye you with sympathy and understanding.
I would
stay as far as possible, if you are happily single or still in the un-parent
mode or travelling without offspring.
On the
other hand, if you wish to observe Italian natives and/or feel less stuck in a
tourist trap, this may actually be a great place to be.
It is easy
to reach from the train station, as there are shields indicating your way
(almost) at every turn and you can find more information on the dedicated
internet site.
Opening
hours: Tuesdays to Fridays, 9:00-17:00 (tickets are sold only up to 16:00);
Saturdays and Sundays 10:00-18:00; Mondays closed.
