Museum of natural History, Toulouse

It’s a very interesting museum with natural history and science. The most fascinating part is definitely the animal specimens. Since it’s only the beginning of March, the garden is not attractive at all, which I totally understand. For non-French speakers, the museum provides very minimum demonstration or introduction in English. However, it’ll still take you around 2.5 hours to visit.

The permanent exhibit is all in French but very cool display of animals and resources on the planet. The museum has a rotating exhibit that usually is in Spanish and English as well as French. The mummy exhibit I saw was a 10/10. Loves it.

Loved the collection here. It is a great place to visit for all ages, be it children, mid adults or even older adults. The place has something for everyone. The made up pieces, few originals, everything.. the second floor has the animal stages of life brilliantly displayed. The animals and the categories are something you will have to spend a lot of time into. There is no hurry, the bone sculptures are really well maintained. The price is reasonable, not out of the box. At the end, you'll come out feeling that what you got is worth the money spent.

Content - if I would speak French I would give 5 stars. But... I paid the full price but benefited less than 50%. Long story short - the museum is the example of discrimination of non-French speakers. If you do not speak French , don't waste your time here. I felt like 2nd class person. I felt someone cheated me. The whole pernament exhibit is only for French speakers. There is an app in English but it doesn't have all exhibits. Google translator didn't work too well due to lack of light (so cannot make good photos of the text) and poor Internet in the museum. No English / Spanish / German info The temporary exhibit is much better as there are some English translations. That's the only reason why I have 2 stars instead of one star.

Very nice museum. It has very different sections from a huge variety of animals to earth plaquettes and science.. Most stuff are only explained in French, thus the 1 point deduction. It also has a nice garden with different types of trees which is nice to walk in.. In general would recmend as it offers good value for money
