Reenchantment

"We are trying to réenchantée le monde." Claude d'Anthenaise

In his words, Claude d'Anthenaise's vision for Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature was to make “a museum of emotion,” with “a free and poetic spirit,” and “a climate of strangeness.” Within its 18th-century walls, he installed natural specimens alongside medieval artwork and pieces by contemporary artists, creating an uncanny and otherworldly atmosphere.

In conversation with writer and host Alisa Carroll, d'Anthenaise guides us through the mythical, spiritual, historical, and aesthetic dimensions of the museum, and shares how, in the midst of the crisis of the Anthropocene, it has become a vehicle for cultivating new images of the wild, for galvanizing movements like ecofeminism, and for reintegrating the human and natural realms. Join us for a deep journey into the enchanted landscape d'Anthenaise has created.
