Located in the State Garden, this museum occupies the premises of the former Legislative Palace, a historic monument in colonial style built in 1834. Focused on biodiversity, it exhibits the flora and fauna of the islands of the southwestern Indian Ocean, including a beautiful collection of naturalized Malagasy lemurs on the first floor. The main attraction of the museum is undoubtedly the coelacanth, a fish from the Mozambique Channel. A good refreshment would do it good.

Pour passer un bon moment avec les animaux (un peu trop immobiles) du passé de l'île.
Tarif d'entrée symbolique!

Exposition sur les requins au rez de chaussé interessante et plutôt moderne avec des grands tableaux explicatifs, des vidéos, des tests interactifs etc. Pour le reste bof bof. Les expositions permanentes à l'étage font franchement dépassées par le temps, les vitrines et les spécimens sont abimés, et il y a peu ou pas d'explications.

Le bâtiment est ancien et intéressant du point de vue de l'architecture... l'exposition temporaire est satisfaisante... mais pour le reste... au secours.
Les 3 autres expositions, à savoir " Les lémuriens", "Faune des Mascareignes" et "Animaux disparus", sont plus que décevantes : Vitrines défraîchis, fonds kitch, explications succinctes, spécimens abîmés... on peut s'attendre à mieux pour un musée français....
