Antoine Pictet
A nature lover at heart, he began his career as a paleontologist in early childhood, roaming mountain trails in search of natural curiosities. Once he outgrew his phase of collecting natural specimens, he turned his attention to their scientific study, while sharing his passion through societies of knowledgeable amateurs and professionals. Between 2006 and 2017, he studied sedimentary geology and paleontology at the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne, eventually devoting himself to paleontology and conservation at the Naturéum.
His studies taught him to look beyond the object itself, with a particular interest in the Jura and Swiss Alps regions; he is fascinated by the richness of the landscapes, the varied geology, and the diverse paleontology of this small country. Beyond the region, he cultivates a culinary and scientific interest in cephalopods.
