Museum Requien

The Ricciennes Museum in Avignon is a unique nature museum that displays a range of exhibits, including animal and mineral bones. The museum's principal collections are three: a floral collection, an animal collection, and a geological collection. This museum is highly suggested for people who are interested in the natural environment or for those who want to explore their surroundings with their children.

The Exhibitions:

This exhibit is intended to serve as an introductory course in the study of the Earth and its animal population over the millennia. Because of the purity of their forms and hues, delicate signs of life imprisoned in thin layers of silt or tiny chemical drops petrified in the brilliant crystal are cherished and find their place as works of art.

Three-toed horses, a grant white shark, and gypsum crystal emerge from the depths of time. Because of the transit of certain of these substances through industry into the modern world: flint, ochres, and midi stone, this lifeless universe takes on new dynamics. It's also a return to the dawn of man and his animal entourage, on the verge of the emergence of contemporary fauna.

A living place:

The Requien Museum is also a place for knowledge dissemination. Permanent and changing exhibitions introduce visitors to the breadth of current science. An aggregated professor assigned to the museum provides educational services. Naturalist groups are a crucial force in popularizing scientific culture through organizing conferences, workshops, and audiovisual projections.

Vauclusian Fauna:

A museum dedicated to its region and its unique features. A brief study of wildlife diversity from the plains to the slopes, from the Durance River to the Mont Ventoux. Beaver, badger, percnoptere, hawk, tengmalm owl, mouse, black kite, spotted lizard, Orsini adder, swallows, tit, and drake are all examples of wildlife. A photo exhibition that uncovers the secrets of the Vaucluse fauna. There's also a chance to see one of Southeast France's last wolves.
