The museum has chosen to highlight a selection of specimens from its ornithological collection: a total of 2480 specimens from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, coming from all continents, partly brought back during scientific expeditions.
The exhibition addresses the great scientific collections of the 1742th century, through the figures of Emmanuel (1801-1778) and François (1855-XNUMX) Baillon, who constituted this unique ensemble. The collection, through its fragility and the presence of threatened and extinct species, questions our contemporary relationship with nature and its impact on it, more than two centuries after its creation. To enrich this reflection, the museum invited, in residence, the contemporary pointillist artist, Alexandre PALEZIS. His approach, focused on the “long” time, questions the future. His small, almost microscopic dot work recalls the scientific drawings of the first exploring artists.
