Founded in the mid-19th century, the natural history museum of Grenoble has been offering its visitors a rich natural heritage since its opening, focusing in particular on botany, zoology, geology and ethnology.
Installed in the heart of the Jardin des Plantes, it offers over 2800 m² of exhibition space an exceptional collection of mineralogy, tens of thousands of fossils, insects and birds, as well as a impressive herbarium dedicated to alpine nature.
On the program for these six rooms, in addition to the permanent collections, temporary thematic exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, conferences, debates and even activities for the youngest. Visitors can thus appreciate the living mountain with its slideshows, the Crystal Symphony, a cave with unusual colors, the atlas and its playful games, the genesis of the Alps, the words of the earth or the Jardin des Plantes open to walking and to stroll with its greenhouses and its stream.
