Join us for this members-only event as natural history curator Dave Dyer gives us a behind-the-scenes look into the lab of a natural history museum to reveal how specimens are preserved and prepared. Learn how curators create beautiful animal skeletons and engaging taxidermy mounts, discover how delicate flowers and fungi specimens are preserved, and what exactly is in those jars of preserved specimens!? Learn this and more as Dave shares his expertise and some example specimens.
