The Butterfly House is a corner of tropical forest in Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is the largest exhibition of live butterflies and insects in Italy, with 1,000 square metres of heated greenhouses and as many again of exhibitions and workshops.
The Butterfly House lies in an area extremely rich in biodiversity, between the Tagliamento river, Lake Cavazzo and Monte San Simeone, in the transition zone between the pre-Alpine landscape and that of the upper Friulian plain. Because of its particular geomorphology, the area around Bordano has always been home to a large number of native butterflies (over 100 diurnal and 500 nocturnal species), making the place a true open-air laboratory that can be explored along easy, equipped trails.
It is a magical place for young and old where you can admire various butterflies in three large greenhouses (Amazonian, Afro-tropical, Indo-Australian) in which over 400 of the most beautiful butterflies in the world fly, feed and breed.
There are also specimens of other small animals, all waiting to be discovered and searched for.
The museum is enriched by an explanatory exhibition and a special living exhibition on mimicry.
