Display window (20): Animal House

At first I didn't expect or wanted to take this shot as today's blip. We had a lovely day, walking and cycling through Paris, discovering shops, meeting familiar people on the marché, chez Benoit for dinner. But the Deyrolle shop was the most unexpected experience.

I knew the fascinating display window from our time in Paris, but looking into the shop it looked rather as an ordinary shop, with things for garden, home and some stuffed animals. Today we entered AND went up to the first floor where we discovered a new world. See (first link) and read (second link) yourself. And yes, it is a shop, not a museum. Unfortunately taking photos inside the shop is forbidden.
