Jurassica Museum

JURASSICA is a multi-site museum and university institution supported by the Jules Thurmann Foundation. Today, the institution is a Swiss reference in terms of the natural sciences of the Jura arc, whose two poles of excellence are paleontology and botany. Its organization is original in many respects as it includes: • A museum; • A botanical garden, living transplant of its museum spaces; • An auxiliary scientific service in geosciences, an academic label recognized for its contribution to research and teaching; • Satellites, real experimental points on the ground. The heritage of which it has the conservation and the management is also exceptional, in particular by its collections of dinosaur footprints or even its fauna of marine vertebrates of Jurassic.

Jurassica Fouilles du Banne

The fossil richness of these marls is highly appreciated by the public (scientists, students, schoolchildren and tourists) and allow easy discoveries of the incredible fauna of invertebrates that inhabited the Jurassic Sea nearly 152 million years ago. . Since the end of 2013, an information pavilion and a search area have been created at this historic site, allowing families and students to experience the profession of paleontology.

Jurassica Jardin Botanique

Le Jardin botanique est composé, dans son secteur est, de 7 serres thématiques (jardin intérieur) et, dans son secteur ouest, d’un jardin extérieur situé entre les bâtiments du Lycée cantonal et dont l’entrée nord est gardée par une installation insolite : le pendule de Foucault. Le Jardin botanique accueille annuellement plus de 15 000 visiteurs. Le jardin extérieur présente différentes plantations dont un parc arborisé avec de grands arbres centenaires, une collection de plus de 80 variétés de roses et 180 d’iris qui encadre le « système » et le Jardin jurassien qui présente pas moins de 800 espèces de plantes indigènes. Par la reconstitution de différents environnements végétaux, les serres créées en 1961, plongent le visiteur dans des atmosphères contrastées. Certaines de ces collections sont de référence, comme les cactées et les Tillandsia. Le Jardin botanique s’étend aussi autour du Muséum où d’anciennes variétés fruitières d’Ajoie sont conservées dans un arboretum.

Chateau de Porrentruy

Reviewed By paulbU621CL

Porrentruy castle is right at the top of Switzerland near to Delle in France so it's logically the best place for the Swiss parliament and foreign embassies and when you study the history of the castle you will understand! For the moment it's a very fine castle and it's always open to walk around outside. A great place for meetings and an apero. Welcome to the JURASSIC REPUBLIC !!!
