What's the only thing creepier than taxidermy? Antique taxidermy.
What's the only thing creepier than antique taxidermy? Charred antique taxidermy.
Deyrolle, a taxidermy shop, opened in the 19th century and is a Paris institution. From what it sounds like, there's truly no other place like it (I wouldn't know because I don't like to be around dead animals). In 2008, much of the legendary shop's inventory was destroyed in a fire. The haunting aftermath was captured by two photographers: Laurent Bochet (image on left) and Martin D'Orgeval (image on right).
Seeing as you don't like to hang out around dead animals, you might not like to visit me at my current weekend gig:

Philip Crangi has lots of taxidermy in the studio....including a teacup chihuahua right behind the desk I often work at and a racoon wearing about 10 gold chains.
