The 14 rooms of the Giovanni Capellini Museum of the University of Bologna house one of the most important fossil collections in Europe in a substantially unaltered layout of late 19th Century, which makes it a must-visit museum in Bologna. The Museum was the venue of the Second International Geological Congress in 1881 and here was also founded the Italian Geological Society. Recently, a permanent exhibition was set up to celebrate the Museum's unique micropaleontological legacy. The exhibition is housed in six large showcases at the ground floor and allows visitors a journey into the history of foraminiferal micropaleontology, from the discovery of the first microfossils, which took place a few miles from the Museum in the early 18th Century, to the first half of the 20th Century when micropaleontology reached a leading role in Earth Sciences.

Abstract

The 14 rooms of the Giovanni Capellini Museum of the University of Bologna house one of the most important fossil collections in Europe in a substantially unaltered layout of late 19th Century, which makes it a must-visit museum in Bologna. The Museum was the venue of the Second International Geological Congress in 1881 and here was also founded the Italian Geological Society. Recently, a permanent exhibition was set up to celebrate the Museum's unique micropaleontological legacy. The exhibition is housed in six large showcases at the ground floor and allows visitors a journey into the history of foraminiferal micropaleontology, from the discovery of the first microfossils, which took place a few miles from the Museum in the early 18th Century, to the first half of the 20th Century when micropaleontology reached a leading role in Earth Sciences.
