Memorial. A Tribute to Taxidermy
If you’re a fan of both cute animals and all things macabre, you’ll probably enjoy this exhibition by ethical taxidermist Jazmine Miles-Long. She aims to challenge perceptions of the art by recreating historic works from the Horniman’s collection to explore the process of taxidermy. She even makes the porcelain backdrops and cases themselves. Horniman Museum. Forest Hill Overground. Sat Oct 22-May 2 2017.
