Opening in 2010 of a new entomology room and a pedagogical animation space. Creation of an important temporary exhibition per year, taking advantage of the rich scientific collections (more than one thousand types preserved): geology, paleontology, entomology, malacology, exotic fauna, amber, meteorites.
