NATURAL MUSEUM OF THE PO RIVER - REVELLO

Located next to Castello Sottano, now the town hall, the Museum is on the first floor of the building that houses the Post Office on the ground floor. Inside, it houses three large dioramas that reconstruct the river environment: plain, hill, mountain. It also hosts collections of the natural and plant species that live along the river. The visitor centre also presents collections of the natural and plant species that live along the river, a permanent photo exhibition and the new geology room dedicated to the greenstone of Monviso and pyrope.

The fascinating dioramas (full-scale reconstructions of natural environments with their “guests”) set up in this space offer an interesting perspective of the river ecosystem and the fauna that populates it, appreciable both from a scientific and aesthetic point of view. Designed in particular for schools, but open to all, the museum is also equipped with a space for showing films, as well as a small didactic laboratory, where insights on specific topics related to the different natural environments and to the activities carried out by man within the Park can be provided.

In 2022, the museum layout was enriched with the addition of a photographic exhibition featuring 17 images by nature photographer Fulvio Beltrando from Revello, and the new geology room dedicated to the greenstone of Monviso and pyrope, which presents, in addition to the material previously exhibited in Martiniana Po, a significant expansion of the collection. The minerals on display also include a series of greenstones from Monviso, from which the precious jadeite was extracted, used to made artefacts that were widespread throughout Europe in prehistoric times.
