Your videos are excellent. So I would enjoy more of all of them. I am 82 and have been retired since 2001 and realize that my wife of 57 years and I will never be able to get to go from Pollock Pines, Calif. to England or Paris. Great productions. Keep it up.

im currently binge watching your channel but may I just say, I could listen to you talk about these museums and their exhibits for hours! you're obviously passionate about what you do and it shows. This now has to be one of my favourite channels on TH-cam! Thank you for sharing all of this with us!
I have been lucky enough to visit Musée des Arts Forains three times. We visited each time during La Fête National in October….everything is open, performers everywhere, rides and games..you feel in another world. My understanding is it is closed except for during a week at Christmas. Rest of the time it is private events and film shoots only. The rides are original and some are kind of scary! This place lives in my heart always. ❤❤
Fantastic selection Jessica! I have been to the Catacombs several times many years ago before it became the major attraction that it is today. I have been to the Carnival Arts Museum and it is a must visit. I was part of a French language tour as I was there in Autumn but they really looked after me especially when they realised I was the only English speaker. It is truly wonderful for adults as well as children and of course, it featured in the film Midnight in Paris. I have also been to the hunting museum (before the renovation and am pleased the fox is still on the chair). I had such a good time there and one of the guides took me on a private tour in English and then wanted to pose for a photo with the polar bear! As you say, it is not what you think! You could do a series on small artist museums as many people do not realise that these house museums exist. Though not macabre, some are very bizarre! Many thanks for yet another great tour of museums.
When I was about 11, back in the early 90's, my family went on holiday to France, and spent a few days in Paris, with my grandma joining us. We were supposed to all go to Disneyland one day, but I got sick the night before. As a result, everybody went to Disneyland except me and my gran, who was left looking after me in a Parisian budget hotel. By the afternoon, I was feeling a lot better so my gran decided to take me out for a bit, and we went to the museums at the Jardin de Plantes. I saw the hall of evolution, and a bunch of dinosaurs in a palaeontology museum nearby, which I loved. But at some point, we walked into some kind of anatomy collection. I don't know whether it was part of one of the Jardin des Plantes museums, or just nearby. I don't know whether it was one of the closed museums mentioned here, but whatever it was, it was truly horrific. Deformed skeletons. Pickled organs. Dead babies in jars. Wax casts of diseased faces. All present and correct. I was about as well-prepared for this parade of horrors as an 11-year-old could be, since I was already a museum regular who'd seen a lifetime's worth of ancient Egyptian mummies, several shrunken heads and a pickled brain, but it was still pretty shocking. The absolute worst part, though was a display that looked about a hundred years old. Even though I was a kid and didn't speak French, I could absolutely tell it was pure racist pseudoscience about skull sizes in different racial groups. Skulls were arranged in lines with descriptors that would almost certainly not be allowed on TH-cam, and helpful annotations meant to allow the audience to compare them unfavourably with the cherry-picked Caucasian cranium intended as an example of the physiological supremacy of the European race. Even as a literal child in the actual 1990's, I knew it was truly messed up that insanity like that was still on display in a public building. I beat a hasty retreat and went back to looking at the erupting pustules and one-eyed stillborn foetuses and whatnot. So that's the story of my childhood day out in Paris with my grandma. The rest of our family went to Disneyland Paris; we made friends with dead things instead. Wouldn't change a thing... except yeah, I'd absolutely have got rid of that demented colonialist phrenology display- that was just too messed up even for a spectacularly weird 11-year-old trainee goth. My desire to visit Paris again has been reignited.. Alas, my finances and free time have not... but this video is still wonderful dream fuel and nostalgia bait.
I bet the skulls exhibit had been left precisely because it was scientifically so wrong; as a prime example of what "science" can become if you look at it with racist and preconceived notions. After all, Evolution doesn't stop at species, but must includes how the way we look at nature has evolved too.
Oh, goody! I'm a big fan of the Mutter in Philadelphia; pretty sure I'd LOVE some of these! Thanks for the head's up! Puppies, worms and turpentine? And I thought Nyquil tasted bad. The wax models were a wonderful creation for training. Those resin cadaver displays are both disturbing and fascinating. I can see why his proteges were nervous about him...but I'm glad he did what he did. That veterenarian museum is fabulous. I'm an animal lover and outdoors enthusiast, so it's right up my alley, as it were. Yes, including the feces. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Oooooh! New video on my birthday! :D I probably won't get to travel out of country this year, but I'm Favouriting this video for future reference. Thank you for all the work you do ;)
The extinct or endangered species reminded me of a story I read years ago about the curators of Oxford's Ashmolean Museum. In 1755 they discarded a stuffed dodo bird because it looked too shabby. Turns out it was the only stuffed dodo known to exist at that time and another has never been found. All we have are prints to show what they looked like.
@@TheMuseumGuide Indeed. Which I suppose is why the story still gets repeated nearly 300 years later. Cannot imagine how valuable it would be today as a one off. When I visited the Field Museum in Chicago the docent told us their collection of Passenger Pigeons is the largest in America and, because stuffed examples are so rare theirs were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. And this was many years ago.
Wouldn't it have been stupendous, to see the sewer works by boat??! Yet another fascinating glimpse of museums I'll never see in person. Thanks, Jessica.
Dear @@TheMuseumGuide Thank you for your reply. I watched many of your videos and find them massively interesting. I live in Venice, and I want to invite you to come here and make such a video about this fascinating, mysterious city as well. I hope you will be interested.
As a sportsman and conservationist, I am very happy to see a museum like The Museum of Hunting and Nature. I had actually never heard of it before I saw this video. You did a very good job, and I am quickly becoming a big fan of your content, so please, keep up the good work! P.S. More on The Fragonard d'Alfort Museum? Yes, please.
This just popped up as a suggestion for me - so grateful it did! Thank you for your excellent research, the useful info you give out, and the great images. And now I have lots of your other vids to view. Perfect!
How absolutely cool..., A genre of subject which I suspected I would never have an interest in; nevertheless, I am totally enthralled by your presentation of these unique museums. My compliments..,
Recently subscribed and what a great decision ! I adore history and Art and museums are my passion! There are a few in Liverpool some interesting paraphernalia within (not sure if you have visited?) Great knowledge attached! Long may you continue gives me something to look forward to watching after a long day in work 😊
Wow…that is a lot to choose from. I think the Carnival arts might be my first choice to visit, because I once performed with a circus sideshow. The exhibits shown in your introduction looked amazing. I suspect that I would visit all of them, just because I love museums.🖤🇨🇦
@@TheMuseumGuide My Husband and I visit all kinds of museums, both at home and when travelling. It doesn’t much matter what subject(s) the museums focus on, we just love seeing different kinds of things. It reminds me of the old “Cabinets of Curiosities” wealthy men used to collect. Some friends say our entire home is like a Cabinet of Curiosities…which is fun, and I take much pleasure from the concept. Canada is still a beautiful country to live in, although I think I could live in a few other countries pretty happily too. How long have you lived away from Canada?🖤🇨🇦
Well done choice ! My suggestion for small Paris museums is a tour of celebrities homes (Delacroix, Moreau, Henner, Hugo, Balzac, Scheffer, Bourdelle, Rodin, Zadkine, Curie or smaller ones : Clémenceau, Pasteur) and another of the 3 asiatic museums (Cernuschi, Ennery plus the larger... Guimet) and Citeco (Gaillard mansion), Galliera (fashion) and 5 small art museums located in mansions as well : Picasso, Jacquemart André, Camondo, Marmottan, Cognacq-Jay. But just to show the most of them since some are less interesting than your choice.
The endangered/extinct bit reminded me to ask you to consider doing a bit about The Feather Thief!!! The kid who broke into a museum to steal bird specimens for their feathers to use as fishing lures. I have been obsessed with this story since I first heard it 7 years ago.
Always wanted to visit Paris but wasn’t interested in seeing the regular Tourist Sights. Museums and Libraries are more my Avenue. Your highlighting of these unusual Parisian Sites has me now creating an Itinerary and looking at Dates. Kudos and thank you for your good Efforts 💯 Regards from South Africa
With regards to strange museums. Have you been to James Ensors house in Ostend. Also the bone chapel in st Leonards church hythe kent. Both places are well worth a visit. Thank you for your interesting and informative films.
Have you visited the perfume museum- Fragonard? I’ll be in Paris for the Olympics and have it on my list. Also they have a perfume making class. Ticket already purchased!
Honoré Fragonard was a cousin of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, one of the main painters of the 18th century. The Fragonard perfume are named after the painter, not the anatomist!
Oh yes, no one would think they’d name the perfume after the madman anatomist! But I know ppl mistake the museums, which would be a wild misunderstanding.
Hello, new subscriber here. I love museums, and medical museums, always fascinate me...but I feel a pull to the "extinction museum". Yes, it's hard to face, but so important to remember. I do hope future generations visit, please learn from our past mistakes. All museums fall into this category, the past is a wonderful teacher.
I have visited, not intentionally, various displays at medical schools and taxidermy rooms and Body World presentations in Canada. I still cannot stomach the reality, but is appreciated as part of our human reality that I think more people would be kinder to one another and to our fellow creatures if having visited one or more of these as educational opportunities.
If you enjoyed Musee des Arts Forains, you would absolutely love Musée Mécanique at Pier 45 in San Francisco. Admission is free, but bring your spare change because you can play all the machines!
You know in the catacombs they found a video tape of a guy that disappeared from down there..I don't know if I would go down there but I've got a touch of claustrophobia so I don't know what would happen if I was to go down there and I'm not a horror movie fan
I see that place with a unicorn...I saw a show called Paranormal:Caught on Camera 📷 these two college guys caught a beautiful white unicorn on video and I had always thought that they were fictional this was in Wales at a college by the time they got down stairs and outside it was gone
The two most bizarre museums that I know of are in Berkley (aka the People's Republic of Berserkly), Ca. where they have the vibrator museum. And in Wallace, Idaho for the Bordello Museum.
I hope you can help me. When Joseph Vacher was beheaded by guillotine, his body was buried at the prison cemetary. But his head was sent to the Dupuytren Museum in Paris. Unfortunately, this wonderful museum has been closed. Most of it's contains was brought to another scientific collection/museum. Do you know if his head is still om display for the public?
I hope you have contacts who can give the answer? Or one of your viewers? Joseph was my lover in a previous life. I want to see him again.@@TheMuseumGuide
I rmber seeing on a old travel channel documentary that Fragonard actually Skinned and Preserved his own Fiancée. She sadly died before they were able to marry and to immortalize his beloved he skinned her and preserved her and turned her into installation. Now That is what i call Love! LOL !
I think the museums were closed due to the sensitive nature of the collections, and concerns about trivialising human remains, but I’m not sure! I hope to go film in Italy in 2024. I’ve been to those cities, but not for this channel.
Museum of endangered and extinct species is the one I would opt for; haunting and sad but not gruesome as some of the others are; I am too squeamish for sewers or flayed humans.
Aaw it's a shame, a few years (okay almost a decade) ago, you could have added the musueum of erotism to the list. ... No I'm not joking, that was a real thing. It was very small private museum, situated in Pigalles, barely a gallery but it was a thing, I swear. I remember it had an eye catching special chair in it's front with a little wheelsover which felt tongues where glued too... Alas it closed it's door in 2016 and it's collection was sold.
It is in plural as in 8 euros (not 8 euro).It is same with American dollar money: It isn’t 8 dollar, it’s 8 dollars. I don’t understand why Americans make this mistake over and over again.
Tell that to the Irish, where the plural is indeed Euro. According to the EU, this is an acceptable form of pluralisation for the currency when speaking English. Also, I’m not American.
I've just found your channel and subscribed, very interesting video and charming well-spoken vlogger. But I didn't like the museums that feature stuffed animals, too many unnecessary deaths for the benefit and entertainment of power-motivated humans so I will not be visiting those museums. Surely there were other less macabre museums you could have featured? Thank you
Please, a longer video about the Fragonard D'Alfort! I'd love to see it (and many other museums you have taken us too) but my finances aren't likely to stretch far enough to get me to Paris. ❤🦘🦘🦘

@@TheMuseumGuide . The Mutter Museum, I think I spelled that right!

Glad you like them! Thank you so much for watching.
um...California is on the list ? 😅 if you are residing in the U.S., I’d try to make this one happen. Seems like the most doable one on the list
If we would like a longer video on the last museum? Do you need to ask? Hell yes, pardon my French. 😁

Well done choice ! My suggestion for small Paris museums is a tour of celebrities homes (Delacroix, Moreau, Henner, Hugo, Balzac, Scheffer, Bourdelle, Rodin, Zadkine, Curie or smaller ones : Clémenceau, Pasteur) and another of the 3 asiatic museums (Cernuschi, Ennery plus the larger... Guimet) and Citeco (Gaillard mansion), Galliera (fashion) and 5 small art museums located in mansions as well : Picasso, Jacquemart André, Camondo, Marmottan, Cognacq-Jay.

Until at about five years ago, there was a pinball museum near my sister’s place in the 18th. I’m not sure whether it’s still there or not.
It looks like it’s still there! Saturdays only from 2-6pm.
Hooray for the weird shit! Thanks for this!!
la Boutique Deyrolle, on peut pas faire photos ni videos, seulement acheter si vous voulez acheter quelque chose comme souvenir
Off topic, but ahhhh! Girlie! You look so cute in that get up! ❤❤❤
Oh thank you!
If you enjoyed Musee des Arts Forains, you would absolutely love Musée Mécanique at Pier 45 in San Francisco. Admission is free, but bring your spare change because you can play all the machines!
The stranger the better ❤
Agreed!
I wouldn't mind visiting the Louve but the rest of them are interesting
You know in the catacombs they found a video tape of a guy that disappeared from down there..I don't know if I would go down there but I've got a touch of claustrophobia so I don't know what would happen if I was to go down there and I'm not a horror movie fan
I see that place with a unicorn...I saw a show called Paranormal:Caught on Camera 📷 these two college guys caught a beautiful white unicorn on video and I had always thought that they were fictional this was in Wales at a college by the time they got down stairs and outside it was gone
I wonder if the thought behind the puppy oil might be a dogs ability to heal quickly? Less prone to infection?
The two most bizarre museums that I know of are in Berkley (aka the People's Republic of Berserkly), Ca. where they have the vibrator museum. And in Wallace, Idaho for the Bordello Museum.
I’d love to visit both!
I hope you can help me. When Joseph Vacher was beheaded by guillotine, his body was buried at the prison cemetary. But his head was sent to the Dupuytren Museum in Paris. Unfortunately, this wonderful museum has been closed. Most of it's contains was brought to another scientific collection/museum. Do you know if his head is still om display for the public?
I’m not sure, as Dupuytren is closed for the foreseeable future. I really hope it reopens soon!
I hope you have contacts who can give the answer? Or one of your viewers? Joseph was my lover in a previous life. I want to see him again.@@TheMuseumGuide
👏👏👏
Thank you for watching!
Haven't been to London in decades either.
It’s time for another trip. :)
More flayed humans please
Medical museums are your best friend!
Of course you have to have the beret on. Can't be a French tour guide without one.
It’s required by law. ;)
I cant even begin to imagine the windex budget at museums
Some need much higher budgets! 🤣
I rmber seeing on a old travel channel documentary that Fragonard actually Skinned and Preserved his own Fiancée. She sadly died before they were able to marry and to immortalize his beloved he skinned her and preserved her and turned her into installation. Now That is what i call Love! LOL !
I can’t find this anywhere! It’s so bizarre if true.
Is there a tour that include these museums?
Not that I know of!
Good video. Small thing, you fell into the trap that Amercans do. It's an "Eem you" not an "Eemoo".
I’m Canadian. ;) just a pronunciation quirk! Thank you for watching. ❤️
20:02 Was that a decapitated head of a fursuit on a pole?!
You know, I think it was!
👍
i wonder how many people realized they needed to see docter after visiting the Museum of Moulage ...
🤣🤣🤣
WHY were those other two museums were closed...is it from the pandemic....... Have you been to Rome, Florence or Venice Italy yet
I think the museums were closed due to the sensitive nature of the collections, and concerns about trivialising human remains, but I’m not sure!
I hope to go film in Italy in 2024. I’ve been to those cities, but not for this channel.
@@TheMuseumGuide Good luck 🤞
A lot of First Date options here…
Be careful with the Musèe des Moulages! 🤣
Museum of endangered and extinct species is the one I would opt for; haunting and sad but not gruesome as some of the others are; I am too squeamish for sewers or flayed humans.
It’s really wonderful! I hope you enjoy when you go. :)
.....OK the first ingredient of the recipe featured early on in a medical museum are boiling 2 puppies.... I'm out.😂
😂😂😂
You could whisper ASMR vids
I’ve never thought about it! I think I have an annoying voice. 😂
700+ skinned humans, but only 21 remain today......so, what happened to the other 700?
😳😳😳
In all seriousness, likely improper care led to them being destroyed
Aaw it's a shame, a few years (okay almost a decade) ago, you could have added the musueum of erotism to the list. ... No I'm not joking, that was a real thing. It was very small private museum, situated in Pigalles, barely a gallery but it was a thing, I swear. I remember it had an eye catching special chair in it's front with a little wheelsover which felt tongues where glued too...
Alas it closed it's door in 2016 and it's collection was sold.
It is in plural as in 8 euros (not 8 euro).It is same with American dollar money: It isn’t 8 dollar, it’s 8 dollars. I don’t understand why Americans make this mistake over and over again.
Tell that to the Irish, where the plural is indeed Euro. According to the EU, this is an acceptable form of pluralisation for the currency when speaking English.
Also, I’m not American.
@@TheMuseumGuide that’s stupid. Irish are in The wrong here also
I've just found your channel and subscribed, very interesting video and charming well-spoken vlogger. But I didn't like the museums that feature stuffed animals, too many unnecessary deaths for the benefit and entertainment of power-motivated humans so I will not be visiting those museums. Surely there were other less macabre museums you could have featured? Thank you
You’re very welcome! Thank you for the kind words.
Well, the French themselves are…a bit weird. So it all makes sense.
In a delightful way!
Please, a longer video about the Fragonard D'Alfort! I'd love to see it (and many other museums you have taken us too) but my finances aren't likely to stretch far enough to get me to Paris. ❤🦘🦘🦘
I will start making it in a few months! Thanks for watching. :)
