Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle

There are special places that I have visited again and again over the years and the Paris Museum is my most recurring destination. I remember my first visit at the age of 6, impressed by the display of the Diplodocus skeleton in the paleontology room. My dream is to work there for several weeks to create a sketchbook dedicated to this institution.
In the meantime, I'm sharing here some of the illustrations that show how much this place inspires me.
