Aside from the animals, there is the architecture of the beautiful hôtel particulier, and wonderful examples of fine and decorative arts.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I would have liked to have been at that auction.

I am not a fan of taxidermy but I can appreciate why it was done along time ago before TV and the internet. It was a “reference” for people. Oh I was sad to see the lovely shop fittings, so old , burnt to ashes as well as the animals and bugs (yik).
I have not heard of the Hunt museum Jan and if I did – I would want to go to see the dog paintings. I do love to draw dogs myself so that would be a “must see” for me. Who knew it was there!
I am so glad they have so many supporters and I hope they put in some of those water alarm sprinklers with the money.

I loved watching the school children picking out their butterflies and bugs and seeing this wonderful cabinet of curiosities.
Jan I would have bought the scarf but they wanted a bank check and that costs$$$ plus postage brought the price way out of my
attempt to support. They would not send the scarf to the Hermes boutique here in Boston, for me to avoid all those extra $$$.
My insects in their frames on my wall bring back memories.

As a child, I would have loved all the taxidermy on display, not being aware of how it came about — foolishly thinking someone just created animals to look as though they were “real.” Also, I could pass on tho bugs/insects at any age! I would like to focus on the art as opposed to the two “preserved” deer that appeared in the video. It’s unique and I am sure attracts a lot of tourists, and the child of my long ago past would have loved it.
