Fragonard Museum

Maisons-Alfort

Step inside one of France's oldest museums, where 18th-century "écorchés" (flayed anatomical figures) reveal the strange beauty of animal anatomy. Honoré Fragonard's preserved specimens, created for Europe's second veterinary school, are equal parts science and cabinet of curiosities.

Visite guidée du Musée Fragonard

November 5

Step inside a cabinet of curiosities run by veterinarians. The Musée Fragonard holds over 4,000 skeletons and animals suspended in formaldehyde, climaxing with Fragonard's 18th-century anatomical écorchés: flayed horse and human figures that are as artistic as they are unsettling.
