The MUST at the University of Parma was created to promote the university’s natural and historical heritage, offering an innovative journey that intertwines nature and memory.

Through themed rooms and immersive displays, visitors can trace the birth and evolution of natural history museums: from the ancient Renaissance wunderkammern to the contributions of Maria Luigia and scholars Strobel, Del Prato and Andres, to the expeditions of explorer Vittorio Bottego in Africa and the most recent acquisitions.

The Museum offers a chronological itinerary that combines science, original historical collections and stories of life, restoring to the public the wonder of biodiversity and the wealth of ideas that have marked over two centuries of research and knowledge.

MUST is a sensory, inclusive and fascinating experience: a bridge between the past and future of natural history.
