The museum was renovated in 2011 and now hosts a wealth of exhibits from all over the world. Great for children - who would have thought that Venice has a dinosaur in a palace on the Grand Canal?.

Incredible museum with superbly constructed exhibits. Compact location, but so many wonderful things to see. Audio/Visuals are incredible, a real treat for the senses.

Fascinating fossils and excellent presentation of the collection including the traditional 19th century presentation for some of the animal collections. Great for kids tired of art.

If u need a little break from churches and museums this one will give u a breather! Still about old things but a diff angle! I loved how old things were and the taxidermy is old school style.

Prepare yourself for a suggestive and engaging visit...discover the secrets of living creatures...admire one of the rarest dinosaur exhibits in the world, a huge Ouranosaurus nigeriensis...

This natural history museum at the Fondaco dei Turchi is home to the Acquario delle Tegnue and Sala dei Dinosauri, two attractions that will surely be loved by kids and adults alike.

Just one dinosaur? They must have been blind! So many wonderful exhibits covering all of natural history. Better than any museum I have been to in Australia and China where we now live! Worth it

Much nicer than many of the other museums in Venice! Also has air conditioning, unlike most of the museums.

Little museum, it has interesting displays with paleontological finds, suitable for children (not noisy ones). Beautiful courtyard inside.

Great selection of fossils, few signs in English but it's quite fun working out what they mean.

An interesting museum, but all the comments and notes are in Italian only. If you don't speak Italian - you'll miss half of the experience

It's an amazing voyage throght the Earth's history, with a new design of the tour. At the upper side it's a museum of an old museum...don't left!

Lovely museum, highly recommended !!

Pretty weak- the aquarium is particularly bad. Not as good as new York or London natural science museums.

photo Tip by Megan L on Thursday the 1 of December, 2011 at 12:07 pm
Intriguing and well-planned flow of exhibitions with seamless transitions

photo Tip by Düden Uluç on Friday the 25 of September, 2015 at 7:03 pm
Better for kids but not bad

Don't waste your time here. Only one full dinosaur on display & no photographs allowed
