Grenoble’s Natural History Museum houses large collections of fossils, minerals, and taxidermied animals. In fact, these collections are some of the biggest in France. The Museum has six different rooms to visit including the Room of the Living Mountain, the Crystal Symphonie Room, the Atlas Room, the Birth of the Alps, the Alpine Mineralogical Sites, and finally a room called ‘In Earth's own words’. Each of these rooms give guests an up close and personal experience with the natural world. Many of these rooms include interactive elements for children and adults alike. Finally, the museum has nearly five acres of botanical gardens to explore.
