Curiosity Cabins
This event has passed!
An exhibition on a sailboat—what a strange idea! That's what The Lost Compass association and the Historical Heritage Department (SPH) at the University of Montpellier (UM) are offering.
A journey through time and space to discover the history of science through fields such as geology, zoology, botany, mineralogy, etc. Objects from the UM's heritage collections and research centers*, brought back, exchanged, and purchased by professors and great explorers, will give you a better understanding of what drove and continues to drive men and women to set sail on the seas and oceans.
Exhibition supported by the city of Sète and Port Sud de France, with the participation of the Student Initiative Solidarity and Development Fund (FSDIE) of the University of Montpellier.
Admission fee: €5; free for students and staff of the University of Montpellier upon presentation of their ID card, and for everyone during Science Week (October 5 to 12).
* Montpellier Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM – UM/CNRS/UPV/UPVD/INRIA) and the MARine Biodiversity, Exploitation & Conservation Joint Research Unit (MARBEC – IRD-IFREMER-CNRS-UM-INRAE).
