Museo Cantonale di Storia Naturale (Cantonal Museum of Natural History)
Museo Cantonale di Storia Naturale (Cantonal Museum of Natural History) Review
A museum since 1854, the Cantonal Museum of Natural History contains exhibits on fossils, animals, and plants, mostly those typical of the region, with all labels in Italian. There's a large section on local crystals that is especially interesting for people planning long hikes in the mountains.
