When most people think of taxidermy, hunting trophies and oddities come to mind. Developed by student-curator PJ Squire (’24, Biology and Museum Studies), this exhibition explores the history and scientific significance of specimens in Natural History museums and collections, from specimen preparation, to dioramas, and public and research usefulness. Specimens are an invaluable part of Natural History and other science-minded museums; these institutions would not be able to serve their purpose without them.
The museum is open:
Mon – Thu 1 pm – 8 pm
Sat 12 pm -4 pm
Closed Fri, Sun, and Campus Holidays
