View from the front of the Art Deco Fauverie (the big cats building), built by Rene Berger from 1934 to 1937 in the Menagerie of Jardin des Plantes, Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, 5th arrondissement, France. Made of red brick, the building is decorated by low relief depicting wild animals. On a pedestal, in front of the building, the statue called Lion tuant une chevre, was created by Paul Jouve circa 1937. Founded in 1794 by Jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, the Menagerie of Jardin des Plantes became the largest exotic animal collection in Europe in the 19th century and is the second oldest public zoo in the world.
