Millon Treasure Hunt: exploring Natural History at Drouot

Children discover the animals, fossils and minerals in the Millon sale through a treasure hunt and a great drawing competition

On Wednesday April 8, 2026, Hôtel Drouot will be transformed into a playground for budding naturalists. MILLON invites children aged 4 to 12 to an original treasure hunt in the heart of its Natural History showroom. Accompanied by an adult, young explorers are invited to observe fascinating specimens up close: naturalized animals, eggs, shells, fossils and minerals. Why does a polar bear have different paws to a black bear? What is a coco-butt? Through an observation trail, children will learn to examine the details of flora and fauna to understand how nature shapes its forms. To extend the experience, a large-scale drawing competition is also organized. A rare and free opportunity to get up close to exceptional collectors' items in the hustle and bustle of the world's most famous auction house.
