'The Art Of Taxidermy' - Press Preview

ROME, ITALY - DECEMBER 01: Stuffed animals are displayed during the press preview of the exhibition 'The Art of Taxidermy' at a zoological museum, on December 1, 2011 in Rome, Italy. The zoological museum showcases more than 60 specimens of stuffed animals, who died of natural or accidental causes or were confiscated from poachers. Taxidermy is a technique that allows the skin of a dead animal to be treated in order to preserve its characteristics over time, blocking the processes of decomposition.
