Musée du château de Montbéliard, Natural history and archaeology museum in Château de Montbéliard, France.
The museum occupies a castle built on a rocky outcrop where two towers from 1424 and 1590 overlook the convergence of Lizaine and Allan rivers.
The castle belonged to the Dukes of Württemberg from 1397 until 1793, when it became part of Revolutionary France and later transformed into a museum in 1937.
The collections include regional archaeological artifacts, paleontological specimens, Bronze Age objects, and contemporary art pieces by Jean Messagier from the 1970s.
Visitors can explore the museum daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM with a lunch break, accessing both historical structures and exhibition spaces with wheelchair facilities.
The museum exhibits a 50,000-year-old bear skeleton from Gondenans-les-Moulins caves alongside marine reptile fossils discovered in Noirefontaine.
