This discovery tour is led by François Thirion, responsible for natural science collections.
Skeletons, naturalised specimens and fossils are all species that are now protected and for which museums must “show their white feet”, even if the specimen is 150,000 years old. All sources must be justified, requiring a real investigation for some. This meticulous research will be explained to you during these days.

About the location

Musée du château des Ducs de Wurtemberg

Château des Ducs de Wurtemberg, 25200 Montbéliard

Doubs
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

This fortress, erected on a rocky promontory at the confluence of the Lizaine and the Allan, is attested around 985\. Residence of the counts since the eleventh century, it is the capital of the country of Montbéliard, integral part of the Germanic empire. In 1397, she returned by marriage to the Württemberg family who kept her until 1793\. Today, the museum of the castle houses collections of natural sciences, archaeology, history and fine arts, and seeks to retrace the history of the country of Montbéliard. Numerous exhibitions are developed there, thus valuing these different areas.
