MISSION DEL MUSEO PALEONTOLOGICO
OPHIS si occupa di divulgazione scientifica, attività didattica, studio e ricerca nell'ambito erpetologico e paleontologico. Nella galleria sono esposti esclusivamente fossili autentici di dinosauri, rettili ed altri vertebrati ed invertebrati del passato, con una sezione dedicata al mondo dei rettili contemporanei e alle specie autoctone.
La sezione paleontologica nasce con lo scopo di recuperare, preparare e studiare i fossili di grandi vertebrati provenienti dal nord Africa, al fine di garantire che tutti i reperti siano esposti in una struttura aperta al pubblico, provvedendo anche alla descrizione degli esemplari di rilievo in lavori scientifici di settore.
Il museo è aperto ad ogni forma di collaborazione tra ricercatori scientifici per lo studio degli esemplari ospitati.
Per richiedere un appuntamento scrivete un messaggio o una mail ai contatti in fondo alla pagina.
COME VISITARE OPHIS
Occupandosi di divulgazione scientifica, OPHIS organizza visite guidate su prenotazione ed eventi didattici aperti al pubblico. La struttura offre la possibilità di organizzare appuntamenti didattici per le classi degli istituti scolastici pubblici e privati di ogni ordine e grado.
