Furniture Pieces are just that: Moderately sized taxidermied specimens that I feel are shown to their best advantage on antique sofas and chairs. Ever have thoughtless guests that are too rough (or large) for a favorite antique? Don't give them an option - place taxidermy on your finer pieces. If you are reclusive and don't have many visitors, put taxidermy there anyway, for your own amusement (I'm hearing Eric Satie's Furniture Music. In my head as I write this).

la bete humaine • a case of curiosities

Examples of taxidermied humans are really quite rare. Far too often other forms of preservation, such as mummification and embalming (Lenin and Evita Peron come immediately to mind) are indiscriminately lumped under the heading of taxidermy. On the acceptable list are bodies that are embalmed (or not) in open casket displays, Bog People, Egyptian mummies and all sorts of bits of saints. The context of display certainly has it's moral politics and science museums are by no means exempt from public scrutiny.
