The Rothchild family gifted the entire museum and its collections to the nation in 1937 and how lucky we are that they did. Here are some photos from our day out at Tring!

Natural History Museum at Tring
The moment the Harris' walked into the Natural History Museum at Tring our mouths dropped! The Victorian Museum holds one of the most incredible collections of stuffed animals that I have ever seen. The beautiful collections in the galleries of the Natural History Museum at Tring, were once the private passion of its founder, Lionel Walter, 2nd Baron Rothschild.

To me Taxidermy is an art form. I see beauty and life. Taxidermy betrays death by creating the illusion of life and when done to a sophisticated level is a beautiful re-telling of that life such as looking at a photograph. It is captured in time.
This blog is me sharing my love of taxidermy with you. Through photos, interviews, excursions and lectures I want to learn all I can about this beautiful art form and I want to share it with you.
