The Museum of Natural History of Tours is a French natural history museum located in the city of Tours in the department of Indres-et-Loire in the central Loire Valley region. After the first Tours museum disappeared during a bombing in 1940, the new museum opened in 1989 at 3 President Street, Mayville. It consists of a space reserved for temporary exhibitions, a vivarium, a room displaying the natural history collection and a library.
