Museum of Earth Sciences
About This Museum
Tucked away on a university campus in Bari, this place is a real hidden gem for anyone fascinated by the ground beneath our feet. You walk in and are immediately greeted by a stunning array of crystals, minerals, and fossils that feel more like natural art than dusty old rocks. It’s incredible to see the raw, glittering beauty of the local Puglian landscape all gathered in one room. The whole museum has this wonderfully curated, almost intimate feel that makes you want to take your time exploring every cabinet.
