Family visit
Viruses, bacteria, and parasites either help us or attack us from birth and throughout our lives. The Museum of Biological Sciences is a great place to visit as a family to dive into the heart of the infinitely small and uncover its secrets!
Some people love microscopy, others wonder about the link between human and animal diseases, and still others are curious about labs. At the Dr. Mérieux Museum of Biological Sciences, you can experience the grand epic of biology as a family.
Did you know that bacteria are 1,000 times smaller than a millimeter? That viruses are even smaller? Or that the first vaccines came from cows? You’ll learn about all this and more, no matter your age, at the Dr. Mérieux Museum of Biological Sciences and leave with the knowledge you need to better fight infectious diseases together!
Permanent exhibition
The Dr. Mérieux Museum of Biological Sciences
A visit to the Dr. Mérieux Museum of Biological Sciences is a journey across centuries and continents following the trace of germs and the scientists who first discovered their existence and developed strategies to protect us. Listen to Hippocrates, play with the pioneers of biology, use optical and electron microscopes, inoculate a Petri dish, and follow in the footsteps of biology’s pioneers.
