Open in Google Maps 

From July 7 to November 22, 2026, the Museo Friulano di Storia Naturale in Udine reopens after 25 years with the exhibition “Trofei d’Oltremare. Una storia da riscrivere”, the third stage of the “Obiettivi Possibili” series. The exhibition invites a critical reinterpretation of Vittorio Tedesco Zammarano's collection: African animals, photographs, artifacts and archival documents become tools to question the colonial past. The itinerary revolves around three main themes: big game hunting as a symbol of imperial domination, the link between science and colonial economy, and the birth of museum institutions in occupied countries. An opportunity to reflect on historical responsibilities and imagine a future of social justice.
