The Regional Museum of Natural History, housed in a renowned medieval castle in the town of Saint-Pierre in the Val d'Aosta region of Italy, combines history, architecture and science. Housed in nine exhibition halls, it introduces visitors to the nature of this unique region, making it the perfect start for those looking to immerse themselves in the mountainous valleys and secluded villages of Val d'Aosta. Over the years, the museum has gained fame at the national and international levels, which is confirmed by the constant influx of tourists both from other parts of Italy and from abroad, as well as the constant scientific cooperation with leading museums and universities in the world.

The museum's exhibits are collected in botanical, zoological and mineral-petrographic collections, which were donated to him in the framework of various scientific campaigns, and were also rented from institutes and individuals. Since 1999, the museum has been publishing its own publication - "Monographs", dedicated to scientific works on the study of the region. It was within the framework of the expeditions initiated by the museum that ungulates, bats, lepidoptera and the Val d'Aosta aviafauna were studied, floristic studies of vascular plants and lichens were carried out, and limnological and hydrogeological studies were organized. And recently the building of the museum itself has been restored, and its collections have been modernized.
