Elephant in the Room | Taxidermy: Challenges of a Lost Art

Join The Natural History Museum for the second night of the Elephant in the Room series, where they focus on the history and evolution of taxidermy. The evening will feature taxidermy demonstrations with NHM staff and volunteers, a discussion in the new Commons Theater, and will conclude with a cocktail hour to meet and greet the program participants. Get a front row seat as our moderator, neuroscientist and science communicator, Dr. Yewande Pearse sits down with the taxidermists from Prey Taxidermy, Allis Markham and Paloma Strong, and NHM’s resident taxidermist, Tim Bovard.

This program is presented in conjunction with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles' PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Reframing Dioramas: The Art of Preserving Wilderness.
