"Amazing Nature Tour: Nantes Natural History Museum"

"Amazing Nature Tour: Nantes Natural History Museum" Hello, everyone! I recently went to a great place - the Nantes Natural History Museum. As soon as I walked into the museum, I was struck by the atmosphere of the old and the modern. This place is a treasure trove of nature! The first thing that attracted me was the specimens, which were so rich that they were amazing. I heard that the number of specimens here is the first in France! In the Earth and Universe Science Museum, minerals, rocks and fossils are gathered together. The meteorite collection is even more eye-opening, and it is one of the richest in France. There is also a soft-bodied mollusk shell exhibition area, with 5,000 gastropod shells displayed in the mezzanine, and the spiral shape is beautiful. This is the result of the reorganization of the curator Ernest Marchand. The plant collection is also super rich, with a large number of woodcuts, plant specimen plates, as well as seeds and fruits, as if telling the story of botanists over the centuries. Climbing up the stairs to the first floor, that series of beautiful wooden boards, vertical sections are like wall panels, each wooden board has varnish and handwritten labels, indicating tree information, it is really cool. But to remind everyone, the Nantes Natural Museum is starting to be transformed, and it will be closed for renovation in 2025, and it is planned to reopen in 2028. So everyone hurry up and check in! Come here, get close to nature, feel the wonder and beauty of nature, and start your unique nature tour.
