It was
founded in 1804 at the time of Pius VII Chiaramonti (1800/23) with pieces from
the collection of the Archiginnasio of the University La Sapienza
It was
divided into three sections in 1932 including this one housed in the area of
the Zoo
in the building especially built at the time
The other
two sections (MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY) are Viale dell'Università and in Via Catone (ENTOMOLOGICAL
COLLECTION AND MOTHS COLLECTION)
The museum includes the incredible number of about 5,000,000 pieces divided into five
sections (entomology, malacology, ornithology, osteological and mammals) in
eighteen rooms
Among the
rarities there are three specimens belonging to species of extinct birds
The
majority of the pieces are kept in armored cabinets, which guarantee the
conservation in suitable and stable climatic conditions
