Buffon Museum in Montbard

Dedicated to Buffon and his closest collaborator Daubenton (first director of the Paris Natural History Museum), the museum offers a journey through Natural History and the philosophy of the Enlightenment. Every year, a temporary exhibition is added to the collections in the different rooms of the museum, offering an insight into the artistic and scientific heritage of these two famous naturalists.
