It's peculiar to imagine a veterinary school completely abandoned and left as is. French photographer Romain Veillon has helped paint the picture for you in his recently captured photography series of an abandoned school in France.
The spine-chilling photos showcase an abandoned veterinary school in France that was unnamed and left in the dust -- literally -- when its students and staff decided to move into a more modern building. No one took over the building, and it was left to fall into despair and decay. With time, some building looks more beautiful and historic, this one however, looks like the set of a horror movie.
Described as a “cabinet of horrors,” it still contains numerous jars of animals and animal parts filled with formaldehyde.

Trend Themes
1. Abandoned School Photography - Documenting abandoned spaces, such as schools and hospitals, can offer opportunities to showcase the beauty within decay and spark interest in urban exploration photography.
2. Urbex Tourism - The trend towards urban exploration or “urbex” tourism, the art of touring off-limit areas, including abandoned places, opens up new opportunities for businesses specializing in accessibility, organization and guidance.
3. Dark Tourism - As abandoned buildings increasingly become a destination for tourists looking for unusual experiences, there is a disruptive innovation opportunity through the creation of new forms of tourism, such as dark tourism experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Photography businesses could offer guided tours and workshops specifically tailored to abandoned spaces, offering enthusiasts the chance to capture unique images of decay and dilapidation.
2. Tourism - Travel companies could cater to the growing trend of urban exploration tourism by offering organized trips to various abandoned locations.
3. Museums - Museums could explore abandoned buildings as a theme or exhibit concept, providing opportunities for artistic and educational interpretation of such spaces.
