Located in a beautiful garden, this natural history Museum offers permanent collection, temporary exhibitions and animations.
"A naturalist journey in the heart of the department" is the proposal of the Departmental Museum of the Var.
The permanent exhibition of the museum is a great tool to understand the geological history, to approach paleontology, prehistory, fauna and flora.
Fossils dating back 100 million years, a dinosaur egg laying, a herbarium from the 18th century... the collections arouse curiosity, fascination and surprise.
