PaleoLAB

A brand new concept has been developed in the Museum: the paleoLAB. In this discovery room, contiguous to the Dinosaur Gallery, children certainly will acquire a taste for palaeontology. They’ll explore the “lost world”, using drawings, puzzles, maps, audiovisuals, and – of course! – every good palaeontologist’s outfit: shovels and brushes. But, last but not least, they can examine real fossils!

Young and old are invited to play, to observe, to handle and to experiment! And those wishing to escape the prehistoric tumult, can hide in the cosy reading and storytelling corner.

You have 45 minutes to try everything with the help of our animator. There’s no chance to get bored with 30 interactivities. And since we are frequently adding new items, don’t hesitate to come back again!
