About
Add anto.info to your preferred sourcesA trained physician and a passionate naturalist, Philadelphe Thomas is the founder of the Natural History Museum that bears his name.
True to the spirit of his time, Dr. Thomas cultivated an encyclopedic approach to natural sciences, engaging with all disciplines. Millennia-old fossils, exotic shells, and local birds populate his collection, enriched through his connections with eminent scientists. The exhibition traces the formation of this exceptional ensemble and also reveals other legacies passed down by Philadelphe Thomas. His early commitment to the fight against phylloxera and his taste for art distinguish him as a pivotal and decidedly modern figure, to whom Gaillac pays tribute today.
