★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My children enjoyed this museum. People are kind and clearly explain fossils and prehistoric rests. Children can even interact by reproducing fossils.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The collection of the museum is of great quality, it includes a lot of holotypes (unique specimens on which new fossil species have been established). However the exhibition furniture is very outdated and poorly maintained. There are also a lot of specimens that come from outside Sicily. This is ok, because they portray the same epoch or environment, but it is not explicit in the narrative of the exhibition, only when you read the small identification plates of each fossil does it become clear.
The first section about the origins of Sicily and it's vulcans is also very informative.
The exhibition area is divided into three floors. Among the exhibits there is a gypsum crystal that contains a drop of water from the Mediterranean 6 million years ago and the oldest human skeleton ever found in Sicily, from the Upper Paleolithic.
