Bag a view; No license required

After a two-year renovation Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature (Museum of Hunting and Nature) in Paris has reopend in a 17th century mansion.  Meissen porcelain birds, gem-encrusted fire arms and magical studies of the animal kingdom by both old masters like Peter Paul Rubens, Alexandre Desportes and Jan Brueghel and contemporary artists like Rebecca Horn and Jeff Koons. The showstopper is Brazilian artist Saint-Clair Cemin’s stylized bronze deer bounding up a banister.
