This exhibition welcomes the visitor to the universe of the
smallest bird in the world. The brilliant colours and diversity of these birds,
carefully kept in the depths of the museum, help us rediscover an exceptional
collection. The hummingbirds that you can admire in this exhibition date back to
the beginning of the 20th
century for some, and for others, to the middle of the 19th century. Only present in the Americas, these tiny jewels of nature have long
been a source of fascination for naturalists and collectors.
Come and discover
this compelling universe: the Hummingbirds of the Americas.
You will be able to observe 75 specimens representing some
fifty or so different species in all. The exhibition also features numerous
photos taken by Mr. Jean Léveillé.
This free path exhibitionputs the accent on
the magnificent specimens of hummingbirds. The modules are made of wood which
gives the exhibition a warm and seasoned touch, similar to the museums of the 19th
century.
