I'm sure you must be wondering if i'm not going to run out of museums soon. I keep thinking i will too, but then someone tells me about something i've got see. As was the case here with the Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature, which i was going to give a pass, until a friend told me it was full of strange taxidermy and contemporary art installations, like this crocheted polar bear. So of course i had to see that.....the lighting in this room was so intense there was a warning at the door about the electromagnetic field and if you had a pacemaker you shouldn't enter.

The museum is organized by rooms according to animal and this was in the very eerie unicorn room.

Guns so pretty it's hard to believe they were used for killing.

You couldn't buy these in the gift shop, just postcards.  :(

Oddest museum I've ever seen, how long does the naked woman have to stand there for? The unicorn hand was exquisite!

C'est laid , les musées sont tous laids , c'est un musée de chasse mais ont vois juste des peintures , vous devriez arranger ça . Mettez plus de vrai animaux , plus de vrai proies et de vrai prédateurs , et moins de photo.
