The 'Sistine Chapel of Taxidermy' - Conserving Akeley's Elephants

Come to our meet up at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin on January 27th! RSVP & details here: http://bit.ly/2FmhkJB
The Akeley's Fighting African Elephants are some of the best examples of taxidermy ever created-- but they'll need help if they're to survive the next 100 years.
