Extractions: Science Museums The origins of Milan's science museums go back many years. The Natural History Museum was founded in 1838 as the first public museum in the city, a direct result of Lombardy's great naturalist tradition; its original exhibits came from donations made by Milanese scientists and collectors. Today the situation is not so satisfactory, especially if this collection is compared with that of the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, or of the British Museums' Natural History Department in Kensington, London. The times in which Milan's Natural History Museum was one of the most important in Europe came to an abrupt end in 1943, when a bombardment almost totally destroyed both the building and the splendid old collections housed there. And the National Museum of Science and Technology, despite its roaring start in the 50s, has only recently recovered after suffering for a long time the effects of a shortage of funds. excerpt from pages 93-94 Museo di Storia Naturale The place destined to house the City Council's natural history collections was built ad hoc in 1893, on a site - inside the Giardini Pubblici - that had long been occupied by museums. After the destruction wrought by the war, it was methodically rebuilt along the same lines and constantly enriched and rearranged. Today the museum has regained a fair standard: it performs its didactic role very efficiently and the effort made to reconstitute the lost collections has produced twenty rooms with some remarkable pieces. There is also a good library, as well as collections especially designed for scholars and specialists.

Many if not most modern science museums also put much weight on technology Museum of Jurassic Technology As early as the Renaissance, many aristocrats collected curiosities for display to their friends. Universities and particularly medical schools also maintained study collections of specimens for their students. Such collections were the predecessors of modern natural history museums.The Utrecht University Museum, among others, still displays an extensive collection of 18th-century animal and human "rarities" in its original setting. Another line in the genealogy of science museums came during the Industrial Revolution , with great national exhibits intended to showcase the triumphs of both science and industry.
