MUSE (SCIENCE MUSEUM)

In the new ecological district, all wood, glass, vegetation and solar panels, this museum is one of the latest pride of the city. A true architectural and educational success, with its futuristic aerial ship look, it combines transparency and perspective. Covering 19,000^m2, this new space was designed by the famous architect-senator, Renzo Piano, who designed, notably in 2020, the Genoa-Saint-Georges viaduct, replacing the Morandi bridge. Raised on the banks of the Adige River, the building also suggests the shape of a mountain. Its mission is to evoke in an interactive way the relationship between the nature of the territory and the environmental changes caused by human activity. It encourages reflection on sustainable development and on the future of the planet.

The visit is fascinating. The tour is like an excursion in the Dolomites. You go up the floors and gain altitude until you reach the terraced alpine garden. Each level presents a different ecosystem. With multimedia animations, special effects (avalanche, glacier), the whole life in the mountains is evoked, the fauna and flora, the history and the social evolution of the region with its inhabitants. A large greenhouse with real plants recreates the atmosphere of a tropical forest and allows visitors to reflect on environmental issues from a global perspective...

For relaxation, the Muse Café or the cafés-restaurants in the area are pleasant.
