Hi All,
Today we had the pleasure of visiting the Louvre in Paris. Among the Egyptian displays are sculptures of fish. There were four and one . Unfortunately, the numeric label for the Synodontis was reversed with the label of a neighboring Tilapia fish. I couldn't find any employees to tell, so I wonder how long it will remain uncorrected.
Cheers, Eric

Nice!
Did you find the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic menu with a syno on it too? I was there last year and that section was closed...

Re: Mis-displayed Synodontis at the Louvre
I'll have to go back and look at my photos. I may have missed it.

Re: Mis-displayed Synodontis at the Louvre
Based on the appearance of your 5th photo (multiple artifacts) they just seemed to not assign #10 next to the Syno label.
