This exhibition invites young and old alike to discover the magical, fascinating and little-known world of these funny little beasts (spiders, fireflies, butterflies) that populate our daily lives and that have inspired the creativity of many renowned artists!

This 'artistic-scientific' exhibition is conceived under the watchful eye of specialists from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. Scientific explanations on the life of small animals accompany the works of the artists presented. Entomological plates, realized by the National Museum of Natural History, will allow to discover the fascinating life of the butterfly!
Children become little explorers and with an explorer's notebook, they set off in search of an extraordinary animal. Don't forget to bring your pencil !!!
