I love a diorama - I love the Museum of Natural History in New York. My kids love it too so it's no surprise that we checked out the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. I have to say that it was amazing. The newly restored building highlighted the collection perfectly. The open concept parade of animals in the main hall was awe-inspiring. From the skeleton of the whale that greets you to the minimal vitrines in the main museum - the place is perfect.
The parade of animals is majestic - you can almost reach out and touch them.
The soaring ceilings show off the giraffes perfectly.
A tiger climbing an elephant is an impressive sight.
The life-size whale that greets you.
The French merchandise everything so beautifully.
