Chapel side of the Courtyard at Château Saint-Germain-en-Laye by Beausoleil
Musée d’Archéologie Nationale et Domaine National de Saint-Germain-en-Laye covers the history of France back to the stone age. There are ancient bones, artifacts, art and information throughout the several floors of the château. We visited for the Henri II special exhibit, but having finished that, we decided to continue through the main exhibits so returned via the beautiful Courtyard to the main château and archeological exhibits.

Murals copied from Lascaux Cave at the Natural History Museum, Paris by Beausoleil
The Natural History Museum is full of skeletons including all kinds of dinosaurs and many other birds, fish and mammals including many that are now extinct. There are over 1,000 animal skeletons packed wall to wall in the massive gallery. The remains of each beast are faced in the same direction creating the illusion of a skeleton stampede as visitors enter the space. There were also preserved brains and body parts. The whole place was absolutely fascinating. The next floor contains the paleontology section which is a time line of the history of life on earth. Above that on the mezzanine are invertebrates and plant fossils. There are also wall murals of the Lascaux cave paintings on the mezzanine level that can be seen from most of the building.
