Taxidermy collections are receiving a new lease of life, invigorated by the vision and fresh perspectives of contemporary artists and supported by curators, academics and conservators who share an appreciation for the history, ethics and practical care of taxidermy specimens.

This one-day conference, organised by NatSCA (Natural Sciences Collection Association), brings together representatives of a variety of disciplines working with taxidermy, in order to share knowledge, stimulate discussion and encourage collaboration.
