Museum sights in Bordeaux

  1. A

    Musée d'Histoire Naturelle

    There's something delightfully old-fashioned about this natural history museum, which dates back to the period after the French Revolution when French society began to embrace the benefits of science. There is one section devoted to housing an exhibition of regional fauna and lots of bugs on pins and quality taxidermy.

    The mansion that houses the museum, the Hôtel de Lisleferme, is an impressive sight even if the museum is a little old-school.
