What is the Natural History Museum of Neuchâtel ?
The Natural History Museum of Neuchâtel presents a permanent exhibition featuring a large majority of Switzerland’s mammal and bird species in their natural habitat. Approximately 13,000 bird specimens and 2,500 mammal specimens are displayed. The permanent exhibition primarily consists of dioramas showcasing the fauna of Switzerland’s mammals and birds.
But you can also participate in temporary exhibitions. For example, starting from November 12, 2023, you can visit the exhibition ‘Platéosaure, ceci est un dinosaure’ or even attend the Christmas concert on December 27.
The Natural History Museum of Neuchâtel even organizes outings outside the museum premises. You can explore a bit more and become budding ornithologists by participating in the ‘Ornitho Outings’ offered by the museum. The next one is on January 6, 2024, for your information.
