Summer in Lille doesn’t mean a break for the Natural History Museum. While it undergoes a major renovation, the museum is setting up a unique mini Museum at Tire-Laine, a cabinet of curiosities filled with surprises and workshops. There’s something to delight both the little ones and the grown-ups until it reopens!

A Cabinet of Curiosities in the Heart of Moulins

For about ten days, from August 20 to 30, 2025, the Moulins neighborhood will host a condensed and immersive version of the famous Natural History Museum. On the agenda, a brand new mini exhibition where stuffed animals, minerals, fossils, and the famous Ambassador Owl come together to enchant visitors. All of this takes place in a unique venue, le Tire-Laine, which offers a friendly yet mysterious atmosphere, perfect for a journey into the land of scientific wonders. As a bonus, a wall projection virtually transports you into the museum's grand gallery, providing a 100% immersive experience.

Workshops for Everyone: From Science to Creation

The programming is designed for all ages, with creative and scientific workshops to have fun as a family. Throughout the days, you can discover how sound is created and travels, imagine your own monster made from animal bones, or even get started with circus arts like juggling and balance. The little ones are also included: tailored workshops spark their curiosity through fun games about living things. Between dance, music, and science, the mini Museum is bound to turn into a true educational and festive journey.

Virtual Tour and Sneak Peek of the Future Museum

For those nostalgic about the closed galleries, a virtual tour is offered, with a mediator to guide questions and ignite curiosity. And for the impatient ones, a model and plans unveil the behind-the-scenes of the museum's future layout, promising to be a reimagined gem.
