All animals have a history, but that of the bear is particularly powerful and touches all populations of the Northern Hemisphere that live alongside it. Bear stories, fairy tales, legends, and myths circulate from Japan to North America, passing through the Pyrenees or the Eastern European countries.
The imagination surrounding the bear is vivid and occasionally contradictory. The exhibition highlights the complex perception that humans have of bears and will invite visitors to question this relationship.
Organized around several themes – culture, nature, and societies – this exhibition will be an occasion to create an inventory of our relationship with bears through the myths we have created and the scientific reality imposed on us objectively: neither gloomy nor cheerful but fair.
Visitors will discover the bear’s natural environment alongside its biological characteristics, diet, distribution and reproduction, and hibernation cycles, etc.
