In the Norman soil, the story of the Earth and life, with Ammonite 50

from April 4, 2026 to January 3, 2027

Fossils are the archives of life on Earth, inviting us on a breathtaking journey through geological time, to a time when the continents we know today did not yet exist and mysterious animals roamed the oceans. The soil of Normandy, and more specifically the Cotentin peninsula, is teeming with these precious relics. Enhanced with numerous videos, interactive displays, and hands-on activities, this exhibition invites you and your family to discover all the secrets of fossils: how they are formed and what they tell us about life on our planet during the time of the dinosaurs and long before.
