Roosevelt trophies and taxidermy evolve at National Museum
The National Museum plans to display Roosevelt African trophies as living dioramas rather than stuffed displays. Modern taxidermy aims for lifelike poses, year-round coats, and native habitats, with elephants and lions mounted in group scenes. Carl E Akely, a renowned taxidermist, will assemble elephants in a grand New York display, illustrating the shift from old methods to artful, natural fixtures.
