A Parisian cabinet of curiosities - Louis Albert de Broglie

With an abundance of preserved flora and fauna,
taxidermy,
and
otherworldly
creations,
the
Deyrolle
boutique
is
dedicated
to
showcasing
the beauty of nature. A family venture founded
in
the
spirit
of
discovery,
Deyrolle's
185-year
history
is
a
Pandora's
box
of
scientific
and
aesthetic discoveries. Deyrolle flourished under
the
nineteenth-century
passion
for
natural
history, garnering celebrity devotees from Dali
to Nabokov, and quickly established itself as a
center for education and research.
A
vocal
advocate
of
sustainability
and
responsible
business
practices
in
the
fields
of
taxidermy
and
entomology,
Deyrolle
works
only
with
creatures
that
have
expired
from
natural
causes.
Raising
awareness
for
environmental and wildlife causes such as world
rhino
day,
Deyrolle
combines
science
and
art,
lightheartedness and engagement. This book provides fascinating insight into the
history and day-to-day workings of this unique
Parisian institution and into the wonders of the
natural world.
