Summer competition: 3rd stage
Our summer competition is all about Delémont, the capital of the canton of Jura. The historic town is located in the north-west of Switzerland, close to the border with France. It is also home to the headquarters of cerjo, the sunglasses label of the same name, which is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. In this and the next two issues, you can therefore win a pair of cerjo "Special Edition 2023" sunglasses.
Stage 3: Welcome to the Noah's Ark Gallery in Vicques!
There are more than 3000 animals to discover in the Noah's Ark gallery by taxidermist Christian Schneiter in Vicques, a 10-minute drive or a good hour's walk from Delémont. The taxidermy specimens and animal sculptures are displayed in their natural environment. Thanks to the great variety, you can travel through all continents, discover the most colorful birds and the largest cats in the world. You can also visit special exhibitions such as "Les Fables de la Fontaine" and "Between Prey and Predators" or "Manimal" The originality and quality of the animal sculptures is impressive. For example, you can marvel at the largest bird of prey in the world, a condor with a wingspan of 3.2 meters and a weight of 15 kg. You can watch the taxidermist at work in a short film or through a window that provides a view into the studio.
The Noah's Ark Gallery is open every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 14:00 to 17:30, and daily for groups of at least 10 people on request. Guided tours are also available on request. The museum is also accessible for people with reduced mobility. Contact: Christian Schneiter, Taxidermiste - Sculpteur, La Filature 1, 2824 Vicques, +41 32 435 58 81, info@arche-noe.ch
