Dust and Bones

So today after a trip over to the Bastille market for some groceries and a nutella and banana crepe, i walked across the river to the Jardin des Plantes to look for some boney still life inspiration at the Museum of Natural History. The park also contains a zoo and this cool natural history themed merry go round.

This is the main entrance to the building, which also has alot of interesting architectural ornament on the outside including a bronze alligator.

As you enter, just to remind you of the order of things, you'll find this charming sculpture....

And then past the ticket kiosk (7EU) and into the main gallery for some boney inspiration. Who dusts this place?

Not a single live human to be seen in any of the Sunday pics! Was it really so quiet in the museum?

it was actually pretty much swarming with sunday afternoon families with little children, but with patience and just the right angle you could crop them out.
