Due to the measures taken by the government to prevent the spread of Covid-19, the museums, gardens and zoos of the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle remain close, except the Jardin des Plantes (Garden of Plants), open everyday from 8am to 5.30pm.
We will inform you as soon as possible of the reopening procedures.
Rocks and minerals, stuffed animals and naturalised plants, fossils and living creatures, prehistoric, anthropological and ethnological objects make up the naturalist collections. A total of 68 million specimens are stored and assembled in collections, which are themselves gathered into groups. Accompanied by document, archive and art collections, these collections represent around 100 years’ worth of natural history knowledge.
