Journées du Patrimoine 2025 at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris, the program

How about a visit to the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature on September 20 and 21, 2025, during the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days)? Free admission to the museum and its exhibition! What's more, Paris Design Week will also be taking place there.

Since it opened in 1967, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature has sought to document man's relationship with nature over the centuries, from Antiquity to the present day.

The rich collection of ancient, modern and contemporary works of art on display, constantly added to by the owners of the"Musée de France" label, includes naturalized animals and inspirational elements that make this museum, located in the heart of the Marais district in the Guénégaud and Mongelas mansions, a kind of reproduction of the animal world in its environment.

Curious visitors will discover naturalized animals from Asia, Africa and America; hunting weapons, paintings and many other objects.
