I am also very interested in what the List has to say on this matter.
Please include me, if you would!

Thanks,

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Exhibiting taxidermy

We are planning an exhibition inspired by our old taxidermy bird
collection.  Although most will be in cases, we would like to exhibit
some of the larger birds and a few smaller ones on pedestals with
stanchions around them.  Can anyone please share their museum's policy
on exhibiting taxidermy?  We have off-gassed many of these birds
already.  There is some concern because they do contain toxic chemicals.

Thank you
