Museum/arts/culture
Housed in a historic Marais mansion, this museum pairs hunting-themed art and taxidermy with contemporary artworks in eccentrically decorated rooms. Run by the Fondation François Sommer, it hosts temporary exhibitions, talks and events exploring the relationship between humans, animals and nature. Its blend of antique interiors and modern installations gives it an unusual, atmospheric feel distinct from typical natural history museums.

What people say
"This may very well be the weirdest museum in Paris and definitely not for everyone, but for me a highlight of my trip. In short, it's a fresh, artful and creative look at hunting and the way humans treat animals. Grand rooms and beautifully crafted hunting weapons, mixed with provocative art-pieces and plain weird creations. A beautiful break from all the Royal Treasures of Paris."
