The collections include hundreds of thousands of specimens in all forms: stuffed or alcohol animals, skeletons, skins, eggs, nests. Apart from the stuffed animals, the museum has models, including about fifty in blown glass dating from 1890\. These artistic and technical feats, carried out by the Blashka family, glassmakers from Dresden, represent mainly marine invertebrates. The cardboard collections: Inspired by an old technique used, for example, for the decoration of the chapel of the Trianon, the anatomist doctor Jérôme Auzoux created in 1822 a new process, one of whose secrets lies in the composition of an original paste, the "terre Auzoux". After creating various models of human organs for teaching in the faculty of medicine, he created his first zoological models in 1833\. All its models, enlarged but faithful to reality, have the particularity of being dismantled in different parts. In 1926, Emile Topsent, then director of the museum, opened a room called applied zoology or "raw materials from the animal kingdom". He collected many everyday or more luxurious objects in use at the time and the materials from which they come. Reconstitution of the cabinet of Jean Hermann (1738-1800). In addition to its vocation of natural heritage conservation, the museum also makes available to scientists from all over the world specimens, among others, reference specimens or types. It has in its reserves hundreds of types (the first specimen from which a species was described), which give it a place of first rank in natural history museums. Between Australia, Japan or the United States, collections of sponges and crustaceans, for example, travel around the world at the request of scientists. The osteological pieces are not to be outdone, and wolf skulls have recently been the subject of a genetic study.
