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.”

“Paris, France. Taxidermy, old world collections, irreverence, and contemporary art mixed in. Take your time, rewards close looking.”

“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.”
