My laboratory (UMR 7206 Éco-anthropologie) moved between late 2014 and early 2015 from the Jardin des Plantes (Botanical Garden) to the Musée de l’Homme (Museum of Man), both sites are parts of the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle (National Museum of Natural History). Since then, work work has continued on the lower floors to build or rebuild the exhibition part of the Musée de l’Homme.
The new Musée de l’Homme is inaugurated on November 15, 2015 in Paris.
