The Botanical Garden and Museum was established in 1544 as the first university botanical garden in Europe. The garden is divided into sections that contain the botanical school, gardens, ponds, greenhouses and various buildings. Major collections include herb gardens and arboreta, as well as the old botany institute of late 16th century, with a façade ornamented with sea-shells.

This fascinating castle is regarded as one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in Europe and has become one of the most popular attractions in South Yorkshire. Conisbrough Castle is, in fact, a well-preserved 12th-century castle and was once owned by Richard of York.

Travellers who enjoy going slightly off the beaten track should not miss the Museum of Human Anatomy in Pisa. First opened in 1832, the museum collected thousands of pieces of highly accurate anatomical models made for educational-scientific purposes. Certainly an unusual and macabre attraction. A section of the museum is dedicated to anatomical paintings by Giovanni Paolo Mascagni, who was famed for his mind-blowingly intricate and accurate colour illustrations. Another section contains archaeological finds, such as funerary objects from pre-Columbian civilisations, with fabrics, vases and various utensils, mummies and sarcophagi.

Over 25,000 items are on-hand to teach visitors about the area's pioneer history at Estes Park Museum. Some artifacts date all the way back to the Ice Age. History tours are available.
