Taxidermy Is Dead (Long Live Taxidermy)

This March the Horniman Museum unveils a new Historic Natural History Gallery featuring new displays and a bigger selection of its stored collection. At its entrance is a new exhibition space, and Polly Morgan's 'Taxidermy is Dead (Long Live Taxidermy)' will be the first to fill it. Morgan hopes to prove that taxidermy is not a 'dying art', and her work, which only uses animals that have died naturally or accidentally, features preserved creatures in extraordinary poses and artistic freeze frames.
