For the 21st edition of the Nuit des Musées, the Musée Fragonard (not the perfume museum a stone's throw from the Opéra, but the one at the heart of theÉcole Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort) awaits you in the Val-de-Marne. One of France's oldest museums, created in 1766 at the same time as theRoyal Veterinary School of Paris, offers you the opportunity to visit its unusual collection.
A collection that has stood the test of time, withstanding revolutions and wars, inviting you to discover this exceptional heritage dedicated to animals, preserved within the museum. Moved three times since the museum was founded, this collection of some 1,000 objects takes you on a timeless journey through the atmosphere of the late 19th century.
The museum remained closed to visitors until 1991, when it was opened to science enthusiasts. Completely renovated in 2008, it now invites you to discover its rare exhibits, for all you need to know about animals and nature. Among the museum's best-known pieces are Fragonard's Écorchés. Beware, as the collection is made up of over 4,200 anatomical pieces, a visit to this museum may shock the senses.
