The Geology Collection "Museo Giovanni Capellini" is a treasure trove of rocks, fossils, and ancient creatures housed in Bologna. Established in 1860 by geologist Giovanni Capellini, this museum showcases over five centuries of scientific research and educational activities. Visitors can marvel at the impressive skeletons of prehistoric animals like the Mastodon and the Diplodocus dinosaur model. With nearly a million specimens, this collection offers a fascinating journey through Earth's history in a charming 19th-century setting.
