Tonight, join us to celebrate the opening of our new exhibition Taxidermy: Art, Science and Immortality, which explores our profound connection to dead and immortalized animals via a spectacular gathering of taxidermied treasures from elite collections across the country. Pieces on view will include astounding natural wonders like the great argus pheasant; freaks of nature such as a circa 1915 four-Tusked Walrus; rare and extinct animals such as the once-abundant passenger pigeon and heath hen; a dizzying array of once beloved pets preserved for all time; stuffed denizens of the deep; and much more!

VIP ticket holders enjoy a champagne toast and tour with the collectors.
