Journées européennes du patrimoine – Chatel-devant : au cœur des réserves scientifiques

To mark European Heritage Days, step inside a venue that is usually closed to the public and explore the museums’ natural history collections during a special guided tour entitled ‘Behind the Scenes’. These scientific collections house nearly 300,000 specimens relating to geology, palaeontology, zoology, botany and many other disciplines. As you wander past the shelves, cabinets and drawers, marvel at the richness of these collections: stuffed animals, fossils, herbariums and many other treasures of our natural heritage. A unique behind-the-scenes experience, guided by François Thirion, head of the natural science collections.
