Musée d'Histoire naturelle

Description:

• The natural history museum in Nice was closed for many years and only reopened in December 2002. It has an impressive collection of zoological, geological and botanical specimens from the Mediterranean, including 200,000 fossils, 40,000 shells, and 7,000 birds. The museum has made its permanent collection more interactive, with amazing audio-visual and light-sound effects. Temporary exhibits take place regularly, and enthusiasts can also request an access to the vast museum research library. Entry is free.
