Musée du Mange-Cailloux

The Stone-Eater Museum, located in a former school in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre in Vendée, is dedicated to mineralogy. It offers a modern and recreational approach to mineral science, combining scientific rigor, humor, and artistic dimension. The visitor's route is organized around three themed areas: minerals in everyday life and their industrial and technological applications, a gallery of figurative stones presenting shapes evocative of animals and landscapes, and a study space dedicated to identification criteria and the properties of minerals. The museum also has a mineral shop offering sales, appraisals, and related services. The establishment is committed to making science education accessible and exciting, in a deliberate break from traditional academic approaches.
