Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Bordeaux, Natural history museum in Bordeaux, France
The Museum of Natural History in Bordeaux occupies the Hôtel Lisleferme building near the Public Garden, displaying extensive collections of zoology and paleontology specimens.
Founded in 1791, the museum received its initial collections from natural history professor François-de-Paule Latapie and merchant Bernard Journu-Auber who enriched them in 1804.
The institution maintains scientific exhibits about biodiversity, environmental changes, and natural sciences, contributing to public education through regular exhibitions and programs.
Located near public transportation, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission on the first Sunday of each month.
The museum houses notable specimens including Miss Fanny, an Asian elephant from 1892, and the skeleton of a blue whale that washed ashore in 1879.
