The Chemistry Museum was established in 1986 and has been open to the public since 1992.

It preserves scientific instruments, teaching equipment, collections of chemical substances and documents dating back to the end of the 19th century and the last century, including those belonging to Stanislao Cannizzaro, founder of the Royal Chemical Institute, and his students. 

Among the equipment present, due to their particular importance and historical interest, we remember the instruments for carrying out the elementary analysis of molecules, the ebullioscopes, the cryoscopes, the thermometers, the colorimeters, the spectroscopes, the nineteenth-century forty teaching tables by von Schroeder and the equipment for studies on the radioactivity of water by Gian Alberto Blanc, as well as even more modern instruments which represent precious evidence of instrumental analysis and its development. The Museum periodically organizes seminars on the History of Chemistry, thematic exhibitions, creates multimedia tools and has created a path with chemical experiences that can be enjoyed by visitors. 

The Museum is aimed at the university cultural community and the world of schools with the aim of spreading scientific culture and in particular chemistry, with various initiatives, including the School-Work Alternation, now PCTO (paths for transversal skills and orientation).
