Micropolis (La Cité des Insectes)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Micropolis, la cité des insectes (city of insects) is situated in the Lévézou region of France, at Saint-Léons, near Millau. Micropolis is a museum dedicated to entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre and inspired by the film, Microcosmos.
Microplois aims both to popularise knowledge of insects and to answer the questions:
- What is an insect?
- How do they live together?
- What are the links between pants and insects, and humans and insects?
- What can they see?
- What can they smell?
Micropolis is also a scientific centre with an experimental station on biodiversity.
