Outdoor Botanical Garden

In addition to its indoor exhibits, the Silvio Lai Paleontological Museum also features an outdoor botanical garden. This garden traces the evolution of terrestrial flora from the Paleozoic era, dominated by ferns, lycophytes, and sphenophytes, through the Mesozoic era, the kingdom of gymnosperms, to the Cenozoic era, which includes our current era, dominated by angiosperms. This outdoor exhibit provides a unique and tangible way to understand the evolution of plant life on Earth.
