The nature of their collections and the ways they are displayed express different approaches of peoples’ relationships with wild animals. They may serve artistic, naturalistic or ethnographic purposes. Nonetheless, the visitor’s perception is influenced by his or her own sensibilities and vision of hunting. As the act of hunting is less common today, it may be necessary to adapt the display of the collections and their interpretation devices to overcome the lack of public understanding. Lectures will be simultaneously translated into French and English.
