A stunning new architectural work, care of Renzo Piano, houses this 21st-century science museum and cleverly echoes the local landscape. Curatorially, the museum typifies the city's brainy inquisitiveness, with highly interactive exhibitions that explore the Alpine environment, biodiversity and sustainability, society and technology. Highlights are an truely amazing collection of taxidermy, much of it suspended in a multi-story atrium, along with a fabulous experiential kids area and open working laboratories .
