WOW. Museum Animals
Science, Technology and Art
Centre Martorell d’Exposicions Passeig de Picasso 9, 08003 Barcelona
Since ancient times, the desire to learn about and share the abundance of life on the planet has led naturalists to attempt to portray the wildlife of each place through descriptions and drawings.
Little by little, the work of taxidermists has made it possible to build the large collections that are housed in natural history museums today. Taxidermy is an excellent resource for education, public awareness, conservation and research. New materials and advances in technology cannot replace the artistic component necessary to produce the expression and movement of the animals in their natural habitats.
With the collaboration of Granada’s Parque de las Ciencias, this exhibition presents the outstanding work of taxidermist and sculptor Antonio Pérez, a leading international expert in this field.
All the animals on display died of either natural causes or as a result of controlled hunting.
