    Great little museum! Not very big, but the exhibits held our attention and those of our kids and we enjoyed our experience. We were greeted by a friendly and professional clerk, and we were almost the only ones in the museum on a Friday morning so we could take our time without feeling crowded or pressured. Fun visit. Our favorite room was the elephant room. We also enjoyed the microscope in the room across from the elephant room, and the kids learned how to use and focus it.

    Very interesting little geological museum. It’s a 3 floor museum ordered chronologically, starting from the dynosaure period (Trias, Jurasic, Cretacae), prehistorical period, and finaly the anthreposcene. Some artifacts are very nice, specially the stones and fossils. It seems that this museum haven’t changed since the middle of the XX century.
