If you happen to be in New York this week, make sure to check out a taxidermy event at the American Museum of Natural History.  Journalist Mellisa Milgrom AMNH museum taxidermist Tim Bovard will take you behind the scenes at the museum to explore the alluring world of taxidermy.  They'll discuss the Museum's world famous dioramas and how Taxidermy relates to contemporary art, conservation and the new Age of Mammals hall. Read more about the event here +

As you probably already know, Milgrom has written extensively on the strange world of taxidermy and has recently published Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy which you can purchase on my reading list here +.
