Abstract

FeaturesSCIENCE & SOCIETY● Keeping museumgoers engaged has never been an easy task. Around the turn of the 20th century, museums began posing taxidermied animals in nature scenes. In this 1946 photo, artist and explorer Belmore Browne paints a glacier behind a mountain goat surrounded by rocks and plants at New York City's American Museum of Natural History. This new type of display dazzled and educated visitors. Today, though, dioramas can feel antiquated. So exhibit experts are looking at ways to breathe new life into the museum staples (see Page 44).PHOTO (COLOR) [Extracted from the article]
