Hello from the best natural history gallery in the world. 🤩
The gallery of comparative anatomy at #Paris' National Museum of Natural History contains literally thousands of skeletal specimens. In my opinion, it has never been surpassed. #museums

Wishing everyone a Happy 2025 from the Dead Zoo!

A new account for a new year - and we have a lot to share from our big decant project, as we prepare for our major building project to improve access and the environmental conditions in our 1856 building.
