European Heritage Days at the UM
This event is over!
42nd European Heritage Days.
The UM's historic heritage is currently undergoing restoration and renovation work: the historic Faculty of Medicine building will therefore not be open during the Heritage Days.
Once again this year, the UM will be offering guided tours of the Faculty of Law and Political Science, the Faculty of Pharmacy, the Faculty of Education and the Jardin des Plantes.
Also at the Jardin des Plantes, the "Ce que le vent efface" exhibition will be open at the Orangerie.
Last but not least, the UM's movable heritage will also be honored at the Direction régionale des affaires culturelles d'Occitanie: restorer Marie Connan will offer an immersion into the profession of conservator-restorer of painted works, through concrete examples from the regional heritage, including a major work from the Station méditerranéenne de l'environnement littoral de Sète, Vue de l'étang de Thau painted by Max Leenhardt in 1900.
Jardin des Plantes
Discover the Jardin des Plantes and its botanical riches through a number of themed tours: toxic plants, ecology and history, bees, busts from the Ecole systématique, aromatics, the exotic garden... And visit the Martins greenhouse and its collection of succulents.
