Whale Skeleton Suspended Over Lunch Tables
|
In the Museum of Natural
History (Musée d'Histoire Naturelle) mammals and
birds sit, stand or fly stiff and stuffed, but placed caringly in
natural settings. A vivarium contains fish, reptiles, small rodents
and batrachians. Some large dinosaur fossils are on display as is
the skeleton of a whale suspended by cables above you as you sit at
your table in the museum café sipping your coffee. Quite good
temporary exhibits pass through the museum regularly. Interesting
museum for both kids and adults. |
The museum is in the middle
of town on Rue des Terreaux 14, ten minutes walk from the train station
and the same distance from Place des Halles and Place Pury, Neuchâtel's main
squares.
Hours: Tuesday thru Saturday 10:00-17:00. |
