About

The Paleontological and Paleobotanical Museum (Greek: Μουσείο Παλαιοντολογίας και Παλαιοβοτανικής Νόστιμου) at Nostimo is an exhibition of fossils in a village in Western Macedonia, Greece. The village of Nostimo is 25 km from the city of Kastoria and 14 km from the town of Argos Orestiko.

Since 2010, fossils and artifacts from the nearby petrified forest have been displayed in the village junior school. The playground has been converted into a park of petrified tree trunks. A relatively spacious room inside the school has on display fossils of marine invertebrates, fish, and mammals, as well as some ancient artifacts.
