Regata Storica in Venice, a event full of history and charme
07/09/2025
If you’re on holiday at the Lido of Venice with your children and want to enjoy a different kind of day — educational, yet full of wonder — the Natural History Museum of Venice is a must-visit. Located in the striking Fontego dei Turchi, overlooking the Grand Canal, it’s a place where nature, science, and art come together — speaking to even the youngest visitors through a language of curiosity, movement, and amazement.
A museum made for kids
The Natural History Museum is one of the most fascinating in the city: here you’ll find dinosaur skeletons, insect collections, shells, fossils, and marine animals — along with interactive areas where children can touch, explore, and observe closely.
Immersive rooms tell the story of life’s evolution, the delicate balance of ecosystems, and biodiversity through modern and engaging displays. There’s even a special room dedicated to naturalist explorers, where young visitors can “travel” through continents, exotic animals, and antique instruments.
For parents, it’s the perfect opportunity to share an enriching day with their children in a safe and captivating environment.
Alice Channer: Nature Becomes Contemporary Art
Among the temporary exhibitions hosted by the museum until September 28, 2025, don’t miss the installation “Megaflora” by British artist Alice Channer — a powerful and evocative work that merges nature with contemporary sculpture.
Using recycled materials, Channer has created forms inspired by fossils, plants, and natural remains — reimagined with a futuristic twist. Her artworks seem to come from another era or a distant planet, raising an important question: What is our relationship with the nature that surrounds us today?
Even for children, it’s a chance for reflection and imagination. The colors, shapes, and dreamlike atmosphere of the installation capture the attention of the youngest visitors, showing how art can help us tell the story of our world.
How to get there from Hotel Rivamare
