Information on diorama building can be had from any of the taxidermy or
exhibit staff persons at the Milwaukee Public Museum.  Carl Akley, who
trained at MPM, designed and built the first habitat diorama there in 1890.
(It's still on exhibit!)  MPM has been an innovator in diorama production
ever since.  The current exhibit and taxidermy staff carry on the tradition
as the leaders of environmental exhibit design.
