The Museum of Estavayer-le-Lac, also known as the 'Frogs Museum', is situated in the town of Estavayer-le-Lac, in the canton of Fribourg. It has been housed in the Maison de la Dîme since 1927. This museum is a regional museum that showcases the culture and history of the region, with most of its collections coming from donations from families in Estavayer or Fribourg.
Thematic Rooms in the Museum
The museum is divided into five rooms, each with a specific theme: weapons, daily life, domestic life, natural history and farm life, and the frog collection. This structure allows visitors to explore different aspects of the region's history and culture in a systematic and organized manner.
The Famous Frog Collection
The most renowned collection of the Estavayer Museum is the one that has earned it the nickname 'Frog Museum'. The last room of the museum houses 108 naturalized frogs, arranged in human postures. These creations date back to the middle of the 19th century and provide a unique and intriguing insight into the daily life of that era.
