  The Zoology Gallery of the National Natural History Museum in Paris was closed to the public for a quarter of a century, leaving hundreds of stuffed animals lin a forgotten twilight zone: mammals, fish, reptiles, insects, amphibians (frogs and toads), birds, crustaceans… The film was shot during the renovation work in the gallery (from 1991 to 1994), and describes the resurrection of its strange residents.
