The ~~updated~~ new experience, titled ‘from the abyss to the summits’, ~~will guide visitors through thirteen distinct ecosystems.~~ expands the scope of displays from a coastal focus to include regional biodiversity ranging from abyssal depths of -3,000 meters to mountain peaks exceeding 3,000 meters. The museum has more than tripled the number of specimens on display, featuring fauna, flora, mushrooms, and geological elements. Notable exhibits include a three-meter-long oarfish from 1772, blue whale bones, and Mediterranean shark skulls. Additionally, the project optimized 150 square meters of space and established a new area dedicated to scientific mediation and educational workshops.
