Such a peculiar place is found in France, in the city of Soyans from the Rhône-Alpes region. You already know that when it comes to collecting anything, anything goes, and in this museum what you will see is an incredible collection of eggs.

The Egg Museum is one of the rarest places in France without a doubt, but it has also become one of the most unique in the world. Collect a collection of eggs of all sizes and colors. Eggs of all kinds of animals: birds or reptiles. Some with stories Incredible, others simply decorated, sculpted eggs, painted eggs and, ultimately, eggs of all kinds.

This museum opened its doors almost ten years ago, in 1994 after holding the Egg Festival two years earlier in the south of France. After this festival an exhibition was inaugurated and with the passage of time this exhibition has become a museum that already houses more than 4,000 copies of eggs.

You can find pieces as rare as a ibis, a bird that is in danger of extinction and whose eggs have a very characteristic bluish color. There are also dark green ones like those of the emu, and even the turquoise ones of the great crow. There are even dinosaur eggs and the most incredible of all, the egg of Nessie, the famous monster of Loch Ness.
