Gallery of Paleontology and Comparative Anatomy, Paris

The article linked below describes this fascinating place in the 5th, it's near to the Grand Mosque of Paris at the Jardin des Plantes. Looks like a good way to spend an hour or two, Lots of bones of all kinds in Paris. Have you been there?

Yeah, a little OTT, but I am a massive bone hunter/collector and that place looks RIGHT up my alley. :-)

I'm a biologist (mammalogist by training) and we are planning on going to the Natural History Museum when we go to Paris in the next few weeks. How could a nerd resist the home of Jean Baptiste Lamarck?
