- a display window from the Pouget Stone Room, the residence of Louis Puyaubert, to show the original version of the collection,
- a display case containing originals (the catalogue of the collection drawn up by Dr Puyaubert and his wife Thérèse, his sketchbooks, his personal microscope, correspondence exchanged with Alfred Lacroix and deposited in Naves by the Museum).
Documentation will be available: a space triptych, a brochure «L'espace géologique Louis Puyaubert, son histoire», a double DVD «Des pierres, un homme».
