Musée de la Nature et des Sciences
Musée de la Nature et des Sciences Review
This museum is in what used to be the Julius-Kayser & Co. factory, famous for the silk stockings it made. The elegant building has granite floors and marble stairs, and makes good use of its lofty space. State-of-the-art light and sound effects (the buzzing of mosquitoes may be too lifelike) and hands-on displays enhance the exhibits of everything from fossilized lizards and ancient arrowheads to dried butterflies and stuffed beavers.
