The Civic Museum of Rovereto is divided into seven sections, cultivating a wide variety of interests ranging from archaeology to natural sciences, astronomy, art and new technologies.
With the exhibition entitled From data to thought, the museum presents the archaeological rooms, from prehistory to the Middle Ages, and the precious collection of Magna Grecia donated in 1935 by the archaeologist Paolo Orsi.
A section is dedicated to zoology, with the ornithology room, which presents one of the most important regional Italian collections, and those reserved for mammals and exotic mammals; the section dedicated to botany proposes a herbarium with 35000 samples and a mycotheque.
To the section on earth science belong the rooms dedicated to rocks, minerals and paleontology;
The historical-artistic section includes an artistic heritage of various origins, with works and artefacts from different periods coming mostly from the Trentino area; another section displays a rich numismatic heritage.
The section on astronomy offers lessons to students and every weekend the show at the planetarium located in the garden of the museum, equipped with a 6-meter dome. On Mount Zugna, at an altitude of 1620 metres, there is the new structure of the Astronomical Observatory, where teaching and research activities are carried out.
