The Contemporary Zoological Conservatory

Morgan Mavis and a bear,

This might be just the solution to my recent comments on the plight of museum taxidermy.  If you're a museum thinking of overhauling your collection and getting rid of those nasty bits and pieces of animal lore, send them to Morgan Mavis and the Contemporary Zoological Conservatory.  Located in Toronto, Canada, the collection of vintage and contemporary taxidermy aspires to the giddy heights of Ark meets Cabinet of Wonders. 

"The CZC wants to create an Ark of visual delights and dizzying proportions, a space that makes you question why and how? A place that overwhelms, crowds, confronts fascinates and titillates a person's sense of wonder. We are not a natural history museum you will not find displays of wildlife in their natural habitat. We are documenting the wild collections and stories of Morgan Mavis. You will witness an overwhelming proportion of taxidermied species in her natural environment.”
