According to the website for the Musée d’histoire naturelle de Lille,
the collection from the Museum d'Histoire naturelle de
Boulogne-sur-Mer was transferred there when the latter museum closed
in 2003:


"Le département de géologie s'est aussi mobilisé pour garantir la
pérennité de collections publiques régionales : mises en dépôt en 2000
des sondages du métro lillois (BRGM) et, en 2003, de la collection de
l'ancien Musée d’histoire naturelle de Boulogne-sur-mer."



very roughly:
[The geology department is also charged with ensuring the continued
preservation of regional public collections: in respository... in
2003, the collection of the former Museum of Natural History in
Boulogne-sur-mer.]
