About the museum
The Museo delle Scienze of the University of Camerino was established by rectoral decree on 19 October 1987 to support scientific research, outreach and museum-based teaching on the natural history of the Marche and the central Apennines. On 30 May 2003 it moved to the restored medieval complex of San Domenico.
It belongs to the university’s museum network, together with the Orto botanico (botanical garden). The collections include, among others, the Marche palaeontological collection with hippopotamus remains, the Giustiniani Bandini ornithological collection, the Battoni entomological collection, ethnographic and mineralogical collections, and palaeontological expeditions.
