The MuMAB of Salsomaggiore Terme: A Journey through the Ancient Sea and Biodiversity
In the heart of the Stirone and Piacentino Regional Park, a few kilometers from Salsomaggiore Terme, stands the MuMAB – Museo Mare Antico e Biodiversità, a fascinating structure that tells the geological and natural history of the area. This museum offers visitors an immersive experience to discover the marine past of the Po Valley and the rich biodiversity of the area.

A Sea That Disappeared Millions of Years Ago
The MuMAB is dedicated to a distant era in which the current Po Valley was submerged by the sea. Through fossil finds and interactive installations, the museum allows you to explore a world that has now disappeared, populated by marine creatures of all kinds. One of the most spectacular elements of the collection is the fossil skeleton of a fin whale that lived about 10-11 million years ago, an extraordinary testimony to a time when these lands were bathed by water.

A Path Through Fossils and Nature
The museum is divided into two main sections:

The geopaleontological area, which houses a vast collection of fossils found in the area. In addition to the remains of the fin whale, visitors can admire fossil shells, prehistoric shark teeth and other finds that tell the story of the ancient sea.
The naturalistic section, which focuses on the current biodiversity of the Stirone and Piacenziano Park, highlighting the animal and plant species that populate this protected area today.
An Interactive and Educational Museum
In addition to the exhibition, the MuMAB is an active educational center, with workshops and activities for schools and families. Guided tours allow visitors to delve deeper into the history of the exhibits on display, while interactive experiences directly involve visitors, making learning more stimulating and fun.

A Symbol of Redemption and Valorization of the Territory
The museum is located in the Podere Millepioppi, an area confiscated from organized crime and transformed into a cultural and naturalistic center. This makes it not only a point of reference for scientific dissemination, but also a concrete example of redevelopment of the territory through culture and knowledge.

Why Visit MuMAB?
If you are passionate about natural history, geology or simply love discovering the hidden wonders of our land, MuMAB is an unmissable stop. The museum offers a unique opportunity to travel through time, from the prehistoric sea to the present day, always with an eye on protecting the environment and biodiversity.

A visit to MuMAB is a fascinating and educational experience, perfect for families, schools and curious people of all ages!
