The centre is housed in the Villa Comunale Baciocchi. The research methods used, the zones explored and the geological features of the Valdera are illustrated by means of explanatory panels that offer a split view of the presences in the zone through Prehistory and during the Etruscan, Roman and Medieval eras.

The Capannoli Zoological Museum is set up in the rooms of Villa Baciocchi, a late Baroque building surrounded by a public park featuring exotic and age-old plants. The attraction comprises a permanent exhibition of a principally educational nature directed both at a school target group and at all those who love and respect nature and animals.
