Museo di Storia Naturale di Venezia founded by Venice
Museum
The Natural History Museum in Venice was founded in 1923 to hold and display a  number of scientific collections from the Museo Correr and the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, among others. This has subsequently been expanded, with around two million objects in the collection. These cover botanical, entomological, and zoological specimens, fossils, and ethnographic collections. The library has over 40,000 books.
The museum is run by the Fondazione Musei Civici Venezia (MUVE).
