Description

The exhibition is divided into seven themes including the use of animal images in art, ceramics, sculpture, toys, jewelry and furniture. There is also a section devoted to fashion through the ages and you'll see the use of feathers, fur, leather and more...

Tickets to this exhibition also cover entrance to the museum's permanent collection of furniture and decorative arts from the 1400's through to 2000.  The Art Deco section was probably my favorite.  Very fun to browse around if you have some extra time.

Cafe / Restaurant
Also there is a wonderful cafe/restaurant in the museum "Le Saut du Loup" with a terrace where you can enjoy views of the Louvre, the Tuilleries and even the Eiffel Tower.

Lunch menu with a glass of wine 22€ or 17€ with presentation of your museum ticket.  Coffee or aperatif is about 3€ - 6€.


Museum Gift Shop
The gift show is also worth a stop. It has an excellent selection of art, architecture and fashion books (even several in English), glassware, jewelry and even some fun and unique children's toys.
