Very near to the train station so an ideal first or last stop as it's open from 10am until 6pm (some leaflets suggest otherwise) daily except Mondays. Welcoming English speaking staff at the desk and in museum itself. Excellent Map. Well Signposted. Entrance included with Trentino Card but the fantastic Space Exhibition was well worth the 7 euros extra- not a sky high price for the experience. This temporary exhibition finishes end of August, I think. The Virtual Reality Stations were superb and just to hear those Russian astronauts' voices.... Loads of authentic space 'stuff' like flight plans, insulation blankets, even the food. Wonderful models and replica space suits. Now on dry land. The planetarium is permanent and feature filled. Loved it ,especially the cute 3D Models. The permanent collection has excellent English descriptors . Extensive 'Roman Age' Section plus the Sala Orsi. The Mineral and Geological Sections were 'marble' less ! The Lunar Rover and the Dinosaurs appeal to everyone. Top Floor has snack machines/toilets etc. Another of Rovereto's many attractions which you really should visit!

We gained free entry to the museum by virtue of our Trentino card, which our hotel in Rovereto had given us free of charge. This is a slightly strange mix of the old and the new. In terms of the old, it houses exhibits of stuffed animals, which struck me as a bit old-fashioned. But, in terms of the new, it also houses a small planetarium in its gardens at the rear of the building. And it was this that I found of most interest – the explanations (in English) of various astronomical phenomena and bodies, were very good indeed.
