Events for the Bicentenary of Jean-Henri Fabre

Requien Museum, 67 rue Joseph Vernet
Contact: 04 13 60 51 20 - museum.requien@mairie-avignon.com

From 6 to 16 October: "Jean-Henri FABRE, 200 years of inspiration" exhibition.

The REQUIEN Museum retraces the life of Jean-Henri FABRE, which alternated between encounters and moments of solitude. From Saint-Léons (in Aveyron) to Sérignan-du-Comtat, via Avignon (Vaucluse) and Ajaccio (Corsica), this is how one of France's most famous naturalists came to be. A friend of Esprit REQUIEN and the third curator of the Avignon Natural History Museum, he left a lasting mark, which is presented in the museum's collections.
