What to see in Terrasini

Museo Regionale di Storia Naturale e mostra permanente del carretto siciliano

The museum is housed in the Palazzo d’Aumale, a nineteenth‑century building originally constructed for Don Vincenzo Grifeo, Prince of Partanna and Duke of Floridia. Later it passed to Enrico d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale, son of King Louis Philippe of France and Princess Maria Amalia of Bourbon‑Two Sicilies, who used it to store wine from the nearby Zucco estate. Since 2001 the palazzo has accommodated the Regional Museum of Natural History, which also displays a permanent exhibition of the Sicilian cart. The museum was created under regional law 17 of 1991 and is now owned by the Municipality of Terrasini, which granted the Sicilian regional administration free use of most of its rooms on 3 April 2001.
