In this show, the Museum reveals Nantes’ rich heritage through the treasures in its collections that have either never (or rarely) been seen, or that have been recently acquired… The aim is to amaze guests by presenting over 350 carefully selected and showcased specimens from its reserves. This show tells the story of how the collections were developed, and bears witness to the evolution of biodiversity over time.
