Collezione di Geologia "Museo Giovanni Capellini" — Attraction in Bologna

While not Dinosaur heavy, thus museum is really perfect for anyone who's ever had a collection of rocks or fossils. This museum is kind of like what you'd imagine as a child to be the biggest collection in the world. This is because with this museum, you are travelling back in time, to a scene from the late 1800s, where fossils are in overflowing cabinets and all marked with hand written papers, not dissimilar to a classic cabinet of curiosities from 2 centuries ago. I just loved it, as both a fan of fossils and that era or discovery. We even have small statues from that era depicting how scientists thought dinosaurs looked back then. I love how unpretentious this music is and how it displays the majority of its collection instead of having only 10% on display like the majority of other paleontology museums. And it was really cool to see a near complete skeleton of a giant sloth. Ice Age fans would get a real kick out of that for sure. Highly...

Recommended to all travelers with kids who are dino fans. There’s just so much to see here that make your little ones wow and the biggest and longest surprise waits in the end. It’s really worth it to spend some hours there.

The categories are divided nicely but there are just so many remains in the shelves without any explanation that makes them look more like a private collection. When we were there, there was a small adventure/climbing exhibition that our kid enjoyed.

The small souvenir shop has some books which are in italian and some other small stuff like magnets, postcards, pencils etc. i think it would be so cute if they also sell some special dino figures :)

Updated: i add some more pics for you guys to have a sneak peak :) I have forgotten to take pics of the most gigantic one though. Pic 5...

Quite a few cool models, but also all the way too much things without a story, or at least, a beautiful display. I'd suggest the staff to give a bit more energy to the rooms. It's like too much is packed into the same space. If you have childrens, there's much to see, but nothing really to play with, or touch. So it's kinda required for them, to at least have some interest in the categories.

In the little extra showroom, not a single thing was in English - except for a giant screen, only to be used by one guest at a time.

Going from four to three stars, due to aircon turned off. Really? 35C~ or similar in the rooms, where absolutely no air...
