About the museum
The Bios Taras natural history museum, in Corso Umberto in Taranto, was set up by Aldo Bianchi, Anna Fiorenza and Paolo Parenzan. Its collection consists mainly of exotic butterflies, beetles and other insects, which the museum has taken several times to schools, fairs and exhibitions in the area, such as the lepidoptera exhibitions in Martina Franca and Castellaneta.
