BEARS, Myths and Realities takes you on a discovery of the bear - Man’s wild
double - and our relationship with him, located somewhere between fear and admiration.

As a whole, the exhibition delves into stories about bears, but also explores the complex perception Man has of bears. Where does the legend of the Great Bear come from? How big was the Cave Bear? Is it possible to see a bear in the Pyrenees?

Organised into 3 main themes (culture, nature and society), a wealth of fun and educational tools will immerse you in the life of the Bear.

Compare yourself to a life-size bear with the 8 silhouettes, hear stories from the world over, visit a bear’s den, or go out into the field with the researchers.
