Intro
Missing animals
The zoology department has a small but invaluable collection of extinct animals. One room is dedicated to them, and provides an overview of the current threats to biodiversity and the means to preserve it.
The comparative anatomy room
Designed for university teaching purposes, this "museum within a museum" has undergone few modifications and still offers its impressive display of rows of jars and skeletons. A showcase designed by artist Sabrina Biro and entitled "Monstre Double" (Double Monster) features animals with two heads. An exhibition on invertebrates completes the presentation.
Cryptozoology area
Our museum boasts the world's largest collection of cryptozoology, the science of animals we're not sure exist, with a dedicated area in the comparative anatomy room.
