Together with the Archaeological Museum, the Maremma Natural History Museum in Grosseto is one of the best reasons to visit the region’s capital. In the historical center, it’s dedicated to natural and earth sciences, and has all sorts of cool touch screens, laboratories, and interactive elements.

On three floors in twelve sections, it’s got an extensive collection of rare and prehistoric rocks, minerals, and crystals, exhibition areas dedicated to the coastal, pastoral, forest, and mountain ecosystems of the region, and a large collection of animal specimens. The kids will love it!
