another time in Jardin des Plantes

In 2015 we visited Jardin des Plantes, that wonderful botanical garden built by royal decree in 1635 with France's oldest zoo, green houses and a museum of natural history.

  Inside the museum on an upper floor overlooking the skeletons of dinosaurs, we stumbled upon a photo exhibition of the staff's work life during the German Occupation.

Almost the same scene as above but with snow.  The woman is a scientist we'll see below. Two keepers are feeding the lion.

A scientist is trying to organize the museums' papers!

 Here's her working cataloguing skulls!
