Anatomie comparée des espèces imaginaires
Winter exhibition 2025–2026 from 18 oct. 2025 to 15 mar. 2026

Comparative anatomy of imaginary species

What if fictional creatures were examined through the lens of science? 
This exhibition takes you on a journey into an unexpected world, combining scientific rigour with boundless imagination. Totoro, Alien, Marsupilami, Yeti and dragons reveal their anatomy under the biologist's microscope. A fun exploration of comparative anatomy, between reality and fantasy.

The star of the exhibition is a very real animal: a fossilised Jurassic sea crocodile, recently discovered and presented to the public for the first time.
