Installed in a former school, this unusual museum challenges as much as it questions. A pebble eater? He is a mineral enthusiast who opens his doors and his personal collection!

This atypical nugget is perhaps the business of the experts… but not only. The staging of minerals in everyday objects teaches us much more than we imagine!

Mineralogy

Mineralogy is the study of minerals. Constituents of rocks and minerals, they are the resources necessary for the production of everything that ensures our comfort. The noblest among them are precious stones.

Mineral Shop

Amateurs or experts, find your mineral, the one that makes you dream or quite simply the one that you find attractive. The Musée du Mange Caillou unearths different specimens. Some are highly sought after, others deserve a place in your living room!

Minerals are the stars of the lower world.'

Visit the museum

The discovery of the Musée du Mange Cailloux is recommended for visitors to Vendée Bocage. Passionate about geology and mineralogy? This is the place for you ! Minerals are featured in their daily use. Specialist? This place has a very large collection of minerals and gemstones in store.

New 2023

Among the novelties, a new darkroom experience invites you to come and observe minerals under ultraviolet light.

The museum is housed in a former school in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, and close to the Vendée Railway. Ideal to combine the two visits!
