A Captivating Journey into Hunting and Nature
If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Paris, the Museum of Hunting and Nature is a must-visit destination. From the moment you step inside, you'll be transported to a different time and place, filled with fascinating exhibits that celebrate the history of hunting and the natural world.
The ambiance of the museum is simply fantastic. The medium-sized facilities are comfortable and well-designed, with plenty of natural light and an immersive atmosphere that encourages exploration and discovery. The service is top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff members always on hand to answer questions and offer guidance.
One of the highlights of the museum is the exceptional quality of the taxidermy on display. The animals are incredibly lifelike, with meticulous attention to detail that really brings them to life. You'll feel like you're standing right next to a wild boar or a majestic stag, marveling at their beauty and grace.
Another aspect that sets this museum apart is its focus on the cultural and historical significance of hunting. Through a series of interactive exhibits and multimedia displays, visitors are able to learn about the evolution of hunting practices and the role they've played in shaping human history.
As for improvements, it would be great to see more interactive exhibits and activities for children. While the museum is certainly engaging for all ages, a few more hands-on experiences could really enhance the overall experience.
In summary, I would highly recommend the Museum of Hunting and Nature to anyone looking for a truly unique and captivating experience in Paris. The ambiance, service, and quality of the products and services offered are all top-notch. I left with a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and I can't wait to come back and explore the museum again...

Fascinating place, and your kids will think so too! Highly recommend if you are in the area and have a couple of hours to spare/invest. Also one of the few places in Paris with good A/C (if you are of the 'running hot' variety). Beautiful post cards, cool bird whistles and original art, jewelry and books in the...
Read moreThe museum is wonderfully curated and kept in shape. The staff is friendly and very helpful with sharing their knowledge about the permanent collection and the temporary exhibits.
As it is one of the smaller museums in town it is less busy than let’s say the Louvre or Orsay. Which means that you can really get lost in the atmosphere and take your time to explore the exhibition items as well as the period interior design.
There is a small bookshop and handy lockers, but no café - which you won’t need anyway as the Marais is full of options and the overall museum visit will only be around 2 hours.
I particularly loved the weapons room with the accompanying info book and the pull-out cabinet drawers. The various wooden info furniture pieces throughout the museum are wonderfully thought...
