Museum in Le Mans, with a few minerals, and one of the oldest collections in France, with specimens

At the entrance to the museum, a slice of the Boppe oak, the tercentenary jewel of the Forêt de Bercé, and a few minerals are on display. The Musée Vert boasts one of the oldest collections in France, with almost 200,000 specimens, only a fraction of which are on public display. Geology, zoology and botany are sure to delight young and old alike. Upstairs, the first room is devoted to animals in their environment, with a series of display cases showing them in thickets, hedgerows and fields; the second room (Jurassic Sarthe) is devoted to minerals from the Precambrian to the Primary eras... Doesn't that sound familiar? Then you should know that these fossils are dated from 620 to 245 million years BC. Putting things into perspective! There's no shortage of curiosities. In any case, it's the ideal place for schoolchildren. From first cycle to secondary school, there are various workshops: the life of a flower, snails, the flora of the banks of the Huisne, etc.

Je recommande ce musée riche en collections d'histoire naturelle. Animaux empaillés, empruntes, herbiers... La collection est impressionnante. Si vous le pouvez, demandez à visiter les réserves. Vous y découvrirez encore plein de choses !

Une belle découverte!
Ce musée est très bien, c'est impressionnant ce qu'on découvre dans un aussi petit espace, les collections mériteraient d'être dans des locaux plus grands.

C'est un très beau petit musée. Il est possible de le visiter en moins d'une heure mais les expositions sont quand même intéressantes.
Interesting museum to those who love nature and animals!
A good visit family during 1:30.

This museum presents the environment and sciences in a very pleasant, especially for children.

Beautiful discoveries including Aurochs of Pontvallain or Elasmosaure of Saint Rémy Valley!
