The Natural History Museum (Italian: Museo di Storia Naturale) in Pavia, Italy is a museum displaying many natural history specimens, located in Palazzo Botta Adorno. Founded in 1775, it was one of the oldest museums of natural history in Europe. It currently forms the University of Pavia museum network, along with 5 other museums — the University History Museum, Museum of Electrical Technology, Museum of Archeology, Museum Camillo Golgi and Museum of Mineralogy. The museum was founded as part of the renovation projects by the empress Maria Theresa of Austria for the University of Pavia in 1771. It was set up by Lazzaro Spallanzani, a professor of Natural History in the university. The museum received its first collection, minerals from Vienna, which were donated by the empress Maria Theresa. The collections were kept at Collegio Ghislieri until 1775, when they were moved to Palazzo Centrale, where the collections were catalogued according to the Linnaen classification system.
