4th Annual Baltimore Taxidermy Open

4th Annual Baltimore Taxidermy Open

To call it one of Baltimore’s most eccentric events is – perhaps – an understatement.

…which is exactly why The Walters’ sculpture court was jammed with folks, there to check out the fascinating creations of alternative taxidermy artists.

The show – put on by The Walters Art Museum and Bazaar, a Hampden store specializing in “natural history items, home decor, jewelry and unique and morbid gifts” – offered folks the opportunity to get up close and personal…

…with a number of pieces that ranged from traditional taxidermy from The Walters’ collection…

…to not-so-usual taxidermy, presented by current artists.
