"Rogue Taxidermy" takes over Walters Art Museum

An imaginative menagerie took over the main hall of the Walters Art Museum for the Fourth Annual Baltimore Taxidermy Open.

The event celebrates creative, elaborate stuffed creatures – not the kind of trophy heads or mounted fish often found in hunting clubs or in rustic cabins. Called "rogue taxidermy," the creations are often distortions or brand new conceptions of animals, real or imagined.
