A nicely cropped close up of the chest pounding silverback on Mount Mikeno. Possibly Carl Akeley’s greatest work for the American Museum of Natural history, the Mountain Gorilla diorama is so precisely crafted because of the two 1920s era expeditions to Africa to collect the necessary environmental and biological references. Akeley died during the second expedition, and was buried at the site which the diorama so beautifully portrays.

The Impala Group, African Hall, 1937 American Museum of Natural History. One of my favorites. I believe this background was painted by the amazing James Perry Wilson. Photo, urbanrenovators
