Company description and purpose of company Naturhistorisches Museum Freiburg

In 1824, the canon Charles-Aloyse Fontaine (1754-1834) donated his natural history collection to the Freiburg government "in order to turn it into a public institution in the college for the benefit of education". During the Sonderbund Wars, they were plundered by the Bernese troops in 1847 and split up into two different departments the following year, the “Natural History Museum” on the one hand and the “Museum of Art and History” on the other. In 1897 the Natural History Museum moves again and is housed in a former railway wagon factory next to the natural science faculty of the University of Pérolles. During the first half of the 20th century, the collections could be expanded considerably thanks to researchers such as Raymond de Boccard, who brought back numerous species of animals from his travels to Africa, or missionaries such as Father Buch, who owned hundreds of species of birds, reptiles and toads to the museum for almost 40 years Used to send mammals and insects from China and Vietnam. In 1973 the renovation of the various halls for permanent exhibitions began. In 1976 the first special exhibition on the beetle theme took place in the Natural History Museum: “Coléoptères suisses et exotiques”. In 1982 the first chick exhibition was organized, which quickly enjoyed great popularity and was enjoying increasing success: in 1996 the museum had already 75,000 visitors! In 1996 the museum bought a website and in 1999 the project of satellite monitoring of bird migrations was launched. In 2008, the renovation work on the exhibition hall "Wal" will begin, which will reopen on December 10, 2010 as the hall of "vertebrates from all over the world".
