There will be interesting things happening at Rossendale Museum this Sunday and Monday while the museum is closed. Objects from the taxidermy collection will be temporarily liberated from their displays to under go an x-ray. Britain's most prolific taxidermy authority, expert Pat Morris (more info here and here) will be working with artist Kaspar Wimberely and Susanne Kudielka, who are on their final month long visit to Rossendale, to find out what secrets are hidden inside the stuffed animals. We are hoping that the process will reveal how the animals were stuffed and the structures inside, as well as telling us abut the techniques people used. A selection of the resulting x-rays will be presented on light boxes as part of the 'New Light on Old Bones' redisplay of the natural history collection at Rossendale Museum.
