The Muséum Bordeaux - Sciences et Nature is a science and natural history museum in Bordeaux. It is located in the hotel de Lisleferme and is one of the first collections created in the aftermath of the French Revolution: in fact, at the origin of the museum's collection there was the Latapie collection (professor of Natural History) which dates back to 1791, the collection it was then implemented in 1804 with that of Journu-Auber (politician). Today, after several donations and acquisitions, the collection brings together thousands of different species from all over the world. Within the collection the sections are divided between the Regional Fauna; reptiles, deer, regional mineralogy, anatomical models, general zoology, butterflies, corallites. Among the most important examples found in the collection are "Miss Fanny", an Asian elephant who died in 1892, the skeleton of a blue whale dating back to 1879, the New Caledonian shell collection and the collections relating to prehistory. Furthermore, in the Muséum Bordeaux - Sciences et Nature there are also examples of extinct species, such as the Tasmanian wolf or the Seychelles giant tortoise (which is not extinct, but is under vulnerable status). The Muséeum Bordeaux is also active in organizing temporary exhibitions and conferences.
