Located inside the Saint-Etienne castle, at Aurillac, the Volcanoes Museum is dedicated to the history of volcanoes and to the many mysteries of the Earth. Thanks to a playful and modern museography, the site presents through four rooms the functioning of the Earth and volcanism with in particular collections of rocks, minerals, fossilized plants and even stuffed animals.
