First Municipal Museum of the City of Nice, the Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle opened its doors to the public in 1846, first in the old town, then in 1863 in its current location. Under the influence of famous scientists, such as Antoine Risso (1777-1845), Jean-Baptiste Vérany (1800-1865) and Jean-Baptiste Barla (1817-1896), the Muséum has enriched its collections with important series of birds, molluscs, minerals and fossils coming mainly from the region. It also has a very original collection focused on fish, flowering plants and especially mushrooms in the country.

Today, the Museum is rich in a heritage of more than one million specimens; It is constantly increasing, largely from the Mediterranean regions but also from South America, Africa and Madagascar.
