Temporary exhibition: "Treasures from the collections: exceptional fossilisations".

From 8 April 2023 to 7 January 2024

Fossilisation is a highly selective phenomenon. Of all the living things that have ever lived on Earth, very few have reached us in the form of fossils. The nature of their morphology, their composition and the environment in which the organism lived are determining factors in their eventual preservation.

This exhibition sets out to explain the methods used in exceptional fossilisations and shows a diversity of remarkable and aesthetic fossils, such as the conservation of soft parts, the sometimes three-dimensional fossilisation, the conservation of colour pigments, etc.
