The Museum Vicente Pallotti is located on Avenida Presidente Vargas, 115 in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

In 1935, in the District of Vale-Vêneto, José Pivetta and Valentim Zamberlan started taxidermy in the museum, which is already part of the same collection.

In 1959, due to lack of space in Vale-Vêneto, the museum transferred to the College Máximo Palotino in Santa Maria.

On 7 January 1965, the museum received the first fossil, excavated in the Paleontological Site Sanga of Alemoa, near the town of Santa Maria.

During these years, the Museum Vicente Pallotti became a large repository of objects, and for this reason, the entire collection was in precarious conditions.
