Description

Built in 1766, this is one of the oldest French museums, heir of the cabinet of curiosities of the 18th century. Located in the historic park of the prestigious Ecole Nationale de Vétérinaires (National Veterinarian School) of Maison-Alfort, the museum exhibits a unique collection devoted to pets, presenting skeletons, mouldings and natural abnormalities (cyclops, sirens, 2-headed calves, etc.), and the famous "Écorchés de Fragonard" (Fragonard skinned creatures).
