About the location

Muséum d'histoire naturelle et de préhistoire de Nîmes

13 boulevard Amiral Courbet, 30000 Nîmes

Gard
Occitanie

The Nîmes museum occupies the premises of a former Jesuit college. On your way there, you can admire an entrance garden, as well as galleries dedicated to geology and prehistory on the ground floor, and ethnology and zoology on the first floor. The cloister is visible but unfortunately not accessible to visitors. You will have the opportunity to dive into the local history that spans many years, discover the perception of colonies in the 1930s, as well as a selection of mammals, birds, fish and other vertebrates on display in the collection.
