Yes, it is an art form
NEW HAVEN - Author Melissa Milgrom will tell the story of "her adventures in the world of preparing the skins of dead animals for display," in an event that begins at 5:30 p.m. March 24 at Yale Peabody Museum, 170 Whitney Ave.
Milgrom, shown below, will explain "how this misunderstood art form, once used for royal Cabinets of Curiosities, has evolved at places like the Peabody and the American Museum of Natural History where dioramas by expert explorer–taxidermists are nature’s time capsules," according to a statement.
A book signing will follow the talk.
