Natural History Museum of Milano (Italy) - Image Heavy Thread -

[RobinGoodfellow]

I was born in Milano and I'm visiting its NHM since I was a kid.. 
There are a lot of different things now ( so many new dioramas - about extant and prehistoric animals- ).

Here some pictures ( I hope you like them  / I used my iPad so they are not like my usual standards  ):


Some small dioramas with insects at the entrance






Local prehistoric fauna:

Elephas falconeri from Sicily


Ursus spelaeus from Alps


An "italian" juvenile dinosaur: Scipionyx samniticus



Prosaurolophus


Spinosaurus ( this is one of the original fossil that Mr. Nizar Ibrahim studied for his new reconstruction of the Spino  )


Plateosaurus


Stegosaurus


Camptosaurus


Allosaurus fragilis (juvenile)


Dromaeosaurus


A "copy" of Tyrannosaurus "Stan"



The iconic Triceratops: it's an outdated reconstruction but it was build during '70 and it's a sort of symbol for the NHM



The rare Orsenigo Triceratops was taken from this reconstruction:


Psittacosaurus



Saltriosaurus


Sinosauropteryx


One of the most complete Gryposaurus' skeleton

Stan seems to be everywhere in the world.

@RobinGoodfellow: Bella Italia, bella citta del Milano, bellezza Museo di dinosauri! Una bella Triceratops e Orsenigo Triceratops!
Dinosauri Orsenigo molto bene!

Very interesting report about the Natural History Museum of Milano and fantastic photos! I really absolutely like this old Triceratops
guy, who were the inspration of the Orsenigo Dinosaurs...and I like the Orsenigo Dinos a lot,too!

These photos are a special joy for Archinto, I think, because she owns a few Orsenigos!

The cave with the stalagmites and stalagtites is a great thing,too!
Very excellent pics of the dinosaur skeletons and their reconstructions, it seems you had an interesting trip inside the museum!

Thank you so much for posting all these images.  It is good to be able to "visit" a museum that I have never been to.

Yes, I love it when members post photos from their local museums. I'd love to visit them all myself one day, but in case I don't make it, these photos do quite nicely. Thanks for sharing!
