Muséum de Bordeaux - sciences et nature
About This Museum
People come here not just to see old bones and bugs, but to get a real sense of wonder about the natural world. It feels like stepping into a grand, historic cabinet of curiosities that's been growing since the 1800s. You'll wander from a room full of dazzling gemstones into the towering shadow of a complete whale skeleton. It’s the kind of place that leaves you amazed by how much life there is to discover.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the incredible zoology hall with its dramatic whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling, and the geology section which has these stunning, jewel-like mineral specimens.
Visitor Information
It's right in the public garden, so it's a perfect spot to combine with a relaxing stroll. Just check their website for hours before you go, as they sometimes close between exhibitions.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a gorgeous, stately building that feels every bit as impressive as the collections inside, with grand staircases and high, ornate ceilings.
