Hello everyone,
I hope you're all safe and well at this troubling time.
I'm currently researching a large collection of game trophies - mostly stuffed African antelope heads - that were donated to our museum in the 1930s.
This type of stuffed animal head, mounted on a shield and hung on the wall, is an iconic museum object. I'd like to find out more about how these are used in museums.
Do any of you have trophy heads on display in your museums? If so, how do you display them? What sort of interpretation, if any, do you provide with them?
Please reply off list.
many thanks in advance, and take care, everyone,
Dan.
