  • Give What You Can

Join our Natural Science curator as we look at how animals are taxidermied and preserved, get up close to our animal collections.

How do are our animal collections preserved?

Learn about taxidermy and the preservation of animals, and how they can contribute to the understanding of animals.

After a tour in our store, we'll be creating a shoebox scene of your own to take home!
