CAMS - Gypsotheca
The CAMS (University of Perugia Science Museums Centre – UPSMC) looks after gardens, museums and collections in Perugia which are regularly open to the public all year round; l’Orto Medievale (The Medieval Garden), l’Orto Botanico (The Botanical Garden), la Gipsoteca (Gypsotheca, a plaster cast gallery), la Galleria di Storia Naturale (The Natural History Gallery), la Galleria di Matematica (The Mathematics Gallery), il Museo di Anatomia Umana (The Museum of Human Anatomy), il Laboratorio di Scienze Veterinarie e Zootecniche (The Veterinary and Livestock Sciences Laboratory) all of which are in Perugia and also the Laboratorio di Storia dell’Agricoltura (Laboratory of Agricultural History) in Casalina near Deruta.
Thanks to the diverse geographical origins of the various collections the centre can promote cultural interaction between the University and wider society around by facilitating training and development actions drawing on studies and research-generated content relevant to citizens’ livelihoods and wellbeing; putting into practice what can currently be defined as an Italian University’s third mission.
The gardens and museums are associate members of the Associazione Nazionale dei Musei Scientifici Italiani (ANMS - National Association of Italian Science Museums), the Sistema Museale della Regione Umbria Umbria Region Museums Network) and the Rete Italiana dei Musei Universitari (Italian University Museums Network).
