The less you know the betterā¦ but this mind-blowing Marais district institution implicitly reconstructs the proto-museum āWunderkammerā/ācabinet of curiositiesā experience, directly integrating rotating exhibitions of contemporary art within an itself-delirious blend of portraits, installations, taxidermy, weaponry, and artifacts of ambiguous veracity. The visitor is thus transported into a hybrid and chimerical world that, like its covert cousin (The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles), ultimately raises questions about the very purpose of museums ā whether for natural science, technology, *or* for art āĀ in a secular society.

Make you remember how beautifully complex, abundant and mysterious the natural world is and how we're just a small part of it. It's like Wikipedia-surfing irl
I visited my local one yesterday, strolled around the permanent exhibition, looked at the current photography show and bought a couple of owl postcards on my way out.
It's probably my favorite local museum because of how old-fashioned it is - no screens, just printed text, quiet atmosphere, very beautiful old building. It was so relaxing and soothing for my head

š¢I donāt believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think itās a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion whatās the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
