Taxidermy at the Field Museum

INTRODUCTION

This tour brings you through some of the museums oldest exhibits, the wildlife dioramas. These dioramas have a rich history and we have researched up the wazzoo to tell you all the details, leaving nothing out. We will explain to you the good bad and the ugly about what these exhibits have done for society and science.
