The '''Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History''' was a museum in the coastal city of [[Côte d'Azur]] on the planet [[Sigma Octanus IV]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 155</ref>

The museum had the appearance of an Athenian temple, with white [[Marble]] steps and Ionic columns.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 184</ref>

In [[2552]] during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] attacked Côte d'Azur in hopes of attaining a [[Forerunner]] [[Sigma Octanus IV artifact|artifact]] on display in the Museum of Natural History. The museum, once captured by the Covenant, was guarded by two [[Shade|stationary plasma turrets]] along with many [[Jackal]]s, [[Grunt]]s, and [[Elite]]s.  Guarding the artifact itself however was a pair of [[Hunter]]s. Despite these defenses, [[Spartan-II|SPARTAN]] [[Blue Team]], led by the [[John-117|Master Chief]], was able to recapture the museum and secure the Forerunner artifact.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', pages 202-209</ref>

The museum was destroyed when Blue Team detonated a [[HAVOK]] tactical nuclear warhead on Côte d'Azur.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 211</ref>

== Trivia ==
*The Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History was the place where [[UNSC]] forces officially first came in contact with the [[Hunter]]s: unofficially they had already been met in [[2531]] and [[2537]].
