Natural History Museum of Montauban
MONTAUBAN , Tarn-et-Garonne – Cultural heritage
About
The museum presents an important collection of birds from around the world, mammals and fossils that invite you to travel.
Located today in the former palace of the Cour des aides, the Victor Brun Museum project was born in 1852, under the will of the members of the Société des Sciences (Agriculture and Belles Lettres du Tarn-et-Garonne), wishing to put their private collections at the disposal of the Montalbanais.
Appointed curator in 1857, Victor Brun is a naturalist, but also a member of the Society and holder of most of the collection that makes up the Museum.
The museum presents a large collection of birds, mammals, phosphorite fossils from Quercy (Lot) and a fragment of the famous Orgueil meteorite that fell near Montauban in 1864. An overview of the wonders of nature ends with the very beautiful and rich collections of primates, shells and insects. If you are curious, pay attention to the slideshows which present the fauna of the Tarn-et-Garonne and the environment in which it evolves. Your next walks will have no more mysteries for you!
Nénette, the newcomer!
Since April 2021, the museum has acquired a magnificent brown bear which has quickly become the museum’s new mascot.
