MOBE - Muséum d'Orléans pour la Biodiversité et l'Environnement is a museum dedicated to natural heritage and scientific culture. It documents the flora, fauna and geology of the territory of the Loire Valley Center. Founded in 1823, with over 435,000 specimens and samples, the Orléans museum is a conservatory of the living and mineral natural heritage. Among the preserved collections are insects, herbariums, stuffed animals, fossils, skeletons, rocks, minerals, shells, crustaceans and corals. There are also collections more closely linked to the human sciences, which concern in particular the doctrines of anthropology and archeology.

The museum organizes numerous temporary exhibitions to make its rich collection always accessible and offer the opportunity to know and reflect the world around us and to understand the great contemporary challenges of science.
