Lonely Planet review for Museo Zoologico La Specola

This charmingly fusty zoological museum is a taxidermist’s dream, with room after room of stuffed animals of every shape, size and origin. The strong of stomach should not miss its macabre collection of wax sculptures of human bodies dissected and in various states of disease. The hall of horrors was created to train 19th-century medical students.
