The Natural History Museum of Dijon is housed in the former barracks of the arquebusiers, a 19th-century building with characteristic arcades, located on rue Jehan de Marville. It welcomes approximately 100,000 visitors annually and is dedicated to the history of life and biodiversity. The museography, entirely renovated, offers a tour adapted to all audiences based on reconstructions, scale models, naturalized specimens, fossils and multimedia content. The museum favors a progressive approach going from the local to the global, taking Burgundian fauna and flora as a starting point to explore the diversity of living beings and environmental issues. The temporary exhibitions of the Hubert Curien planetarium complement the permanent collection according to the same scientific and interactive philosophy.
