I'm very curious as to what the AMNH plans to do with the Carl Akeley dioramas
(African mammals)...I hope they're not going to re-do them or remove any of
them.  At the Field Museum, we 'spruced up' the actual dioramas' areas, new
paint, new lighting and such, but didn't mess with the insides too much.
Anyone out there from AMNH know what kind of plans the Museum has for the
Akeley dioramas?
