About this place
The bequest of entomologist Jules Passet gave rise to this unusual museum in Espace Saint-Jacques. Its route includes the museum’s story, a hands-on laboratory, collections gallery, young explorers’ area and screening space. Magnifiers, models and screens make insects approachable without specialist knowledge.
Many ways to explore
The city estimates about 600,000 specimens, with 11,000 on display. Workshops and themed visits have separate schedules; a museum visit does not guarantee that an activity is running that day.
