The JURASSICA Museum is the public face of the Courtedoux dinosaur excavations, one of the most significant Late Jurassic fossil finds in Europe. The exhibits cover the full range of the site's discoveries — from the large sauropod trackways preserved in the rock to the individual bones of theropods, crocodilians, and pterosaurs that lived here when the Ajoie was a shallow tropical lagoon.
The museum is well designed and accessible to non-specialists. Actual fossils sit alongside reconstructions and geological context, and the breadth of species found at Courtedoux is genuinely impressive. If you are travelling with children interested in dinosaurs, this is probably the best museum of its kind in western Switzerland. The Courtedoux dig site itself is no longer accessible — excavation finished in 2011 — but the museum does the story justice.
