Insect investigation, the exhibition on small animals at the Musée du Vexin français (95)

After all, we see insects every day, without necessarily paying attention to them or asking ourselves how they live, what they eat? What are the characteristics of each species? So, to help you answer all these questions and explore this miniature world that evolves around us on a daily basis, the Musée du Vexin français, based in Théméricourt, in the Val-d'Oise département, invites you to discover Enquête d'insectes, its exhibition dedicated to these little beasts of our homes, gardens and forests, from January 3 to November 30, 2024.
