Explore the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature
The Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, a delightful museum nestled in the Marais district of Paris, offers a unique experience that is often overlooked. It’s a hidden gem that is certainly worth visiting!
While the term “hunt” may evoke concerns about bringing children along, we encourage you not to miss out on this museum, which is tailored for young visitors! The museum beautifully blends elements of nature—showcasing taxidermied animals and various animal representations—with an element of fantasy through imaginative displays that artfully combine contemporary works with historical pieces, creating a wonderful cabinet of curiosities.
Catering to curious young minds, the museum features a room filled with cabinets and drawers, designed for inquisitive hands to explore. Children are encouraged to pull open the drawers to uncover an array of hidden treasures within! Moreover, the staff is incredibly attentive to young guests, promoting an environment that’s both welcoming and educational while ensuring rules are respected. It’s a truly kid-friendly destination!
Engaging narrated tours
Ms. A, along with her cousin and a friend’s child, experienced a captivating narrated tour focusing on wolves. Guided by Maria, a gifted storyteller, our children embarked on a fascinating exploration of wolves—the creatures that both intrigue and intimidate.
In addition to the immersive storytelling sessions, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature also provides discovery tours, workshops, and interactive experiences led by speakers and artists for children aged 7 and above. The storytelling sessions are designed for children aged 5 and older.
