Maison de la Faune

Formerly the Hôtel de Sous-préfecture, this 16th-century building belonged to the Teilhard Laterrisse family. Today, the 4-level Maison de la Faune showcases animal collections of rare quality, presented in reconstructed biotopes.
The sub-prefecture of Murat was abolished in 1926, and the building became the Maison de la Faune: this magnificent 16th-century mansion houses over 8,000 species of insects, butterflies and beetles from all over the world, dazzling you with their beauty. There's also a splendid naturalized heritage to discover, with almost 800 mammals and birds presented in reconstituted biotopes.
The animals are presented in their natural environment, all with sound.
