The best museums Chartres

This is where the data and archaeological treasures of the city are preserved… Here you will also find regularly proposed exhibitions designed for small and large, to better understand the challenges inherent in archaeological excavations. Entertaining workshops are organised for children, who are thus engaged in search techniques (places being limited, it is recommended to book). Adults will not be at rest because it should be known that the Archaeology Service invites the public to visit the excavation sites in the city, particularly on the occasion of the night of the museums (May), days of archaeology (May also) and Heritage days (September). For example, you can take the hidden secrets of the Porte Guillaume…

It is not the Museum of the Parisian Jardin des Plantes, far from it… but nevertheless, this small museum offers you to discover more than 200 specimens of birds and small mammals, as well as important collections of geology and prehistory, not to mention insects from all over the world. Thus, they are discussed during the tour and showcases of zoology, entomology, geology, prehistory, paleontology (with discoveries from excavations in Saint-Prest) and finally, mineralogy. Often, thematic conferences open to the public are organized on Tuesday evening. Finally, the Museum makes its collections available to researchers who request it.
