DOMESTIQUE-MOI SI TU PEUX !

For more than 10,000 years, human communities have been domesticating species that are useful to them, from dogs and horses to cereals and other crops. Everyone knows and uses the word domestication, but what does it really mean? Exploring domestication means delving into a long and complex history during which plants and animals have been profoundly modified to adapt to our needs.

By bringing together the natural sciences, ethnology, archaeology, history and genetics, the exhibition questions your practices and offers keys to understanding your past, deciphering your present and imagining possible futures. It has been designed to arouse your curiosity, from the youngest to the oldest, from connoisseurs to neophytes.
