Modeling Animals in Habitat Dioramas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Museum artist Stephen C. Quinn describes the painstaking method used to display specimens in habitat dioramas. Following a method developed by legendary explorer and taxidermist Carl Akeley, Museum artisans used the articulated skeleton of an animal as the base for a meticulously accurate sculpture, based on field measurements. That was then used as the template for a cast from which a lightweight "mannequin" was made.
The restored Hall of North American Mammals reopened October 2012.

Incredible attention to detail in the poses and gestures, this guy really captures the moment.
I WENT TO THIS TODAY wowww , in new York right ?
I didn't know it was a wolf until the skim was applied. Makes me wonder about dinosaurs and what they actually looked like. We are able to have a decent understanding of how they looked in some area but not others.
whos here for wsc
a true professional
This, not zoos.
the only sad thing is, that they had to kill these poor animals to get the taxidermies... T_T
MeatShield the bodies are ages old, the animals would be long dead by now.
Most taxidermies are of animals that are found dead. Some, are killed, yes. But very few. The ones that are killed usually were sick or injured in a way that they would have died soon anyways.
