Agropolis, Agricultural museum in Montpellier, France
The museum presented four main sections examining food distribution, human sustenance, agricultural practices, and global farming landscapes through permanent exhibitions and collections.
Founded in 1994 by agronomist Louis Malassis with support from the international scientific community, the institution operated until its closure in July 2010.
The museum displayed thousands of artifacts from Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, including tools, costumes, and agricultural implements.
Located in the Hôpitaux Facultés district northeast of Montpellier, the museum received 25,000 visitors in 2006, its peak attendance year.
After its closure, the museum collections were distributed to various institutions, including museums in Chartres, Belgium, and the Mucem in Marseille.
