  • 3/5 Jean-Yves G. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The exhibition is extremely rich, with an incalculable number of animals (stuffed or in the form of a skeleton) presented. The stuffed specimens are presented in display cases that date, according to a museographic design that no longer corresponds to current standards. It is worth the detour all the same. (Original) L’exposition est extrêmement riche, avec un nombre incalculable d’animaux (empaillés ou sous forme de squelette) présentés. Les spécimens empaillés sont présentés dans des vitrines qui datent, selon une conception muséographique qui ne correspond plus du tout aux standards actuels. Cela vaut le détour tout de même.

    It’s a bit small and outdated, but it’s free. It worth a visit.

    A very popular place for families on a rainy day! It’s free to visit and opened almost everyday (except Monday I guess). You just have to get a sticker upon your entry, which gives you access also to the other 2 free museums in the building. This museum is organized in a traditional way as to represent a collectors house, without explanations, only with the animals names in old cabinets. Very nice atmosphere!! Kids love this place!! Because the building doesn’t have a place to buy food, I recommend bringing your own picnic

    (Translated by Google) We visited the museum in August with 2 children ages 5 and 9. They liked it a lot and since they are dissected they can be observed calmly and curiously. The skeletons were interesting too. Free museum, highly recommended. We were left wanting because it closed, I recommend investing at least 1h 30 min (Original) Visitamos el museo en agosto con 2 niños de 5 y 9 años. Les gustó mucho y al estar disecados se pueden observar con tranquilidad y curiosidad. Los esqueletos tb fueron interesantes. Museo gratuito, muy recomendable. Nos quedamos con ganas porque cerraba, recomiendo invertir al menos 1h 30 min
