I recently discovered your website. Fantastic!! I have been interested in taxidermy most of my life and have assembled a small collection of victorian specimens. Your site is enlightening. When I have time I find myself drawn to the various articles and links your website has brought together. Thank you.

As an Art Historian working with a group of talented conservators, I occasionally need to source info on taxidermy for the occasional project involving taxidermy a client may have. I am impressed with the comprehensive content on this website and will forward it's link as well as return when searching out the correct language relating to the field. Thank you!

El website esta muy excellente!
What will be the evolution of taxidermy, now that the culture is reflecting upon it? Do you think about the next stage, the taxidermy of the future, or is taxidermy's time over, like the era that produced it? Is is now just the domain of the art market? Or perhaps taxidermy was a stage in our larger interaction with animal imagery? Or, if we use sexuality as a metaphor, perhaps taxidermy is kinky, a predictable manifestation of perversion.

Great site.
Have you done any work on the differences in the use of taxidermy between the UK, Canada and the US during your PhD or book research?
The London Zoo used taxidermy continuously from the 1970s to the present as an educational tool, though the Bronx Zoo closed its Heads and Horns Museum at about the same time. I'd like to know more.

Thank you for the information and pictures, nicely done. I look forward to procuring a copy of your history of taxidermy when available. I am working on a PhD in art history at UPenn . . . and a current paper on John Isaacs brought me to your site.

Hi, i'm making an about taxidermy, during my "research" i've kinda came upon the same information as you did. Your topic "gengres of Taxidermy" is really helpful because i didn't start with that yet. A verry beautiful use of taxidermy in art, that i didn't found on your site is that from "Cia Guo Qiang" it's called "head on".Youre site is verry good!
ps:Sorry if my englisch is sort of confusing, but it's not my main language.

I've really enjoyed your site. I'm doing an art review about taxidermy and I've found your site to have interesting ideas in it. I also really like the gallery-- I plan to show my friends it.

Ancient Egyptians mummified cats and other animals, presumably for religious purposes. Would this qualify as "taxidermy" and, if so, are you aware of other examples of taxidermy related to religion?
