The Natural History Museum of Milan was founded in 1838 and since 1893 it has occupied the place that it is today. The place is a cultural and scientific institution that depends on the government of the city and it was born when the naturalists De Cristofori and Jan donated their collections to the government. Actually, Jan was the first director of the place.
Currently it´s the most important natural history museum in Italy and, also, it´s considered one of the most important in Europe.
Subseuently, in 1943, the place was destroyed because of the bombings it suffered in the Second World War and, despite the damages being important, when the war ended it was rebuilt and it reopened in 1952.
From the moment that it opened its doors, the place has the compromise of renewing itself, acquiring new collections and developing courses to teach the people with a great scientific value.
The objects that are exhibited in the place were updated with time accompanying the evolution of the scientific progress and, because of that, visiting it will attract the attention of the majority of people.
