I owned my own brown bear's head for 20 years and loved it, plus I still have a 1920's fox fur. I sort of feel that if they are dead anyway, this is the best way to respect them, to continue to admire them. As soon as I saw the words Alpine mural backdrop I was alert. It's good! xxfrecklefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881334320685123475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704928024259198234.post-1278334591280153122013-06-08T03:46:07.825+08:002013-06-08T03:46:07.825+08:00ahh taxidermy my old friend!. this is my kind of p...ahh taxidermy my old friend!. this is my kind of place....yep those pics do suck!!..lol...just kiddin, love the one of Annabel walking with the dinos....oh and I`d marry Mr Buzza just to have his surname!! xxAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945815850726862441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704928024259198234.post-19092057330697233642013-06-08T03:29:45.486+08:002013-06-08T03:29:45.486+08:00That's funny Liz, I was thinking the same thin...That's funny Liz, I was thinking the same thing "modern museums seem to encourage children to run around and be loud and hysterical" and I wonder how much they learn. They are so busy with big red signs (only simple language) of "push this" "hit this". I think the Launceston museum has done a great job with it's new refurbishment. The really interactive site is the science exhibit. Ideally I think they should have sited this on an entirely different property. It makes it a bit confusing to children about appropriate play in adjoining areas. It would work well if parents were fully engaged and supervising, but like modern museums, they have modern parenting. Museums are also good for practising reading, all those information cards and stories. Kids don't have to read everything in the one visit but some every visit is part of their learning experience as much as all the looking and exploring.Tanya Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867118885094628168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704928024259198234.post-11828895635065403892013-06-08T00:45:48.469+08:002013-06-08T00:45:48.469+08:00this is the kind of place i LOVE!

The atmosphere just isn't the same and there's not that element of wonder and surprise about what you'll see next! And yes ... you always wanted to whisper. Nowadays kids just rush around shouting and being "interactive", totally spoiling the visit as far as I'm concerned.

The flamingo and the antilope (?) are my favorites. I realy like this kind of stuff for decoration aswell.
