Adepte de la protection du vivant, du sauvage, et du libre, j’ai toujours un peu de mal avec des animaux empaillés, surtout pour les oiseaux. La visite se fait sur plusieurs niveaux avec plusieurs thèmes abordés (dinosaures, espèces préhistoriques, fossiles, pierres, monde sauvage, espèces contemporaines, l’Homme...). La section Dinosaures est plutôt bien fournie, et de grande qualité. Idem pour la section fossiles. La section Monde Sauvage, avec la présence de 2 fusils pour tirer sur des cibles me semble inappropriée et hors de propos pour un musée/institut de ce type ! Certaines sections/animations sont plutôt bouche-trou. Mais la grande majorité des expos et panneaux restent très interessnts et ludiques pour tout type de public. J’ai traversé très rapidement la section "Homme". Viscères, cœurs, fœtus, boyaux ou autres joyeusetés, très peu pour moi. A faire, donc, mais avec un accompagnement explicatif pour les plus jeunes sur certaines sections.

All my favorite dinosaurs in one place!
