Museum of Hunting and Nature

In the prestigious setting of the Guénégaud (17th century) and Mongelas (18th century) mansions, in the heart of the Marais district, the 'Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature' offers a refined setting where history, art and life interact with elegance. Far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, this iconic museum invites visitors to discover the relationship between humans and animals through the centuries, from ancient civilisations to contemporary artists. Between stuffed animals, trophies, antique tapestries, and works by Cranach, Jan Fabre and Brueghel, each room surprises visitors with its immersive staging thanks to the richness of its collections of ancient and contemporary art, gathered over more than half a century.

A captivating journey combining ancient art and contemporary creations

This unusual museum in Paris impresses with its daring museography, where hunting trophies, antique weapons, casts of footprints and contemporary works harmoniously complement each other. Whether you are an art lover or a curious visitor, you will be charmed by this unique dialogue between heritage and artistic creation. The visit becomes a sensory adventure: a monumental stag, an astonishing cabinet of curiosities, modern works that question our relationship with nature. The venue also hosts three to four temporary exhibitions a year, regularly bringing in contemporary artists to offer a fresh perspective on its collections. A wonderful opportunity to discover a Parisian museum that is as aesthetic as it is unexpected.
