Lunamatrona, Giovanni Pusceddu Territory Naturalistic Museum

The Naturalistic Museum of the Territory “Giovanni Pusceddu”, the most important naturalistic museum in Sardinia, is located on the basaltic plateau of Sa Corona Arrùbia (The Red Crown), which extends from the Lunamatrona countryside to those of Collinas. The museum is divided into three major permanent sections: fauna, botany and anthropic.
In the faunal section there is the largest and most complete collection of dioramas in Sardinia, divided into eight three-dimensional life-size reconstructions, with flora and fauna, which faithfully reproduce the natural environments of the territory: the jars with their “paulis”, the oak woods, the riparian environments and the arid pasture.
The botanical section is in turn divided into three subsections: mycoteca, xylotheca and herbarium.
Here many secrets of the plant kingdom are revealed in the educational section with the help of simple models, cross-sections, cross-sections, cross-sections and illustrative panels. In the exhibition room there is a space dedicated to medicinal plants with particular regard to the species that abound in the surrounding area.
The anthropic section is divided into two sections: archaeological and anthropological.
The first opens with the life-size reconstruction of a pre-Nuragic house, followed by a series of scale reproductions of the main finds in the area: the Genna Maria Nuraghe, the domus de janas of “Scab'e Arriu”, “Padru Jossu” and “Bingia 'e Monti”; the Tomb of the Giants “Sa Domu 'e S'Orcu” and the temple with a well of Sant'Anastasia.
The second part is dedicated to the anthropization of the territory in the first half of the twentieth century. Through the tools of rural civilization, such as the wooden plow and the most recent iron plow, hoes, sickles and work clothes, it offers an insight into peasant life in Marmilla in the last century.
Inside the Museum there are other collections such as: Doctor Barsanti's Physics Cabinet, traditional toys, Art Collection; while temporary exhibitions for scientific dissemination related to history, archeology, art and natural sciences are periodically set up in the rooms.
There is also the library of the Scolopi Fathers and a conference room.

Why it's important to visit it
The visit allows you to discover and learn about the flora and fauna present in Marmilla and Sardinia, the natural sciences, the archeology of the territory and the material culture.
Temporary exhibitions also allow us to deepen multiple aspects related to the major issues of scientific dissemination.
