At once, entering the great hall in Musee d'Orsay, we noticed the long neck of a giraffe. A new sculpture? Curiously approaching - and we were not the only one - the label explained that the little giraffe entered the M d'O during the celebration of the Great Gallery of Evolution

which is part of the Natural History Museums at Jardin des Plantes.

The students seemed to prefer the natural history to art history and drew at once their artistic interpretations on their sheets of paper.
