Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature

“a lovely way to spend an hour. I expected little and walked away very pleased. Highly recommend.”

“Feather walls, foxes in the dining room, an owl ceiling, polar bears in damask rooms, I love the storytelling of the misé en scene in this museum.”

“not your average taxidermy museum. tucked into a beautiful old mansion in the marais. special exhibitions feature fantastical art and installations with twists on the theme of animals and nature — taxidermy sharing rooms with old master paintings and surreal contemporary work. there's also a wall-mounted animatronic boar head that talks to you, if that tells you anything.”

“I once ended up here accidentally about twenty years ago and I often think about looking up to see a tiny gallery ceiling entirely covered in feathers.”
