From the Yeti to the kraken, to the Mokele m'bembé and the loch Ness monster, here is the natural history of these legendary creatures.

Between the return of expeditions, dioramas naturalists and laboratories of cryptozoological research, discover several installations of the artist author-illustrator Camille Renversade in homage to Bernard Heuvelmans, naturalist, inventor of this discipline, the science of hidden animals.
The exhibition presents a collection of original books, articles and documents on cryptozoology, including the main works of Bernard Heuveulmans.
Let’s go in search of the lake monsters with the first installation dedicated to the famous «Nessy», it is a study and investigation office of the loch Ness, in a 60 year atmosphere.
Let’s continue on the trail of the ignored animals with a destination in Nepal, following in the footsteps of the abominable Snowman who greatly interested our cryptozoologist, but also his friend Hergé. Here the base camp is devastated, only a few footprints in the snow reveal the identity of its strange visitor.
Finally, we find ourselves in a camp of explorers, ready to get our hands on one of the last surviving dragons of Africa.
