Corpses to Collections

Explore the grizzly process of preparing dead animals, great and small, for our collections - not for the faint hearted.


From tiny shrews to the Thames whale, the mammal collection looked after by the Museum is one of the best in the world. Specimens come to us in a number of ways, from road kill to strandings, with some literally appear on our doorstep. But how does a corpse become a scientific specimen? Join a Museum scientist to explore the grizzly process of preparing dead animals, great and small, for our collections - not for the faint hearted.
