Rod photographed this Ruffed Grouse in the the Museum’s Hall of North American Forests.
Each of the Museum’s habitat dioramas depicts a scene from a real place, cast in the light of a particular time of day. These re-creations are based on meticulous observations of scientists in the field and the on-site sketches of the artists who accompanied them. This particular diorama depicts Sunset Hill on the eastern shore of Sunapee Lake in New Hampshire in early October.

Sebastian lived at Christ Church, high in Meadow Buildings. He was alone when I came, peeling a plover’s egg from the large nest of moss in the centre of his table.
’I’ve just counted them,’ he said. ‘There were five each and two over so I’m having the two. I’m unaccountably hungry today. I put myself unreservedly in the hands of Dolbear and Goodall, and feel so drugged that I’ve begun to believe that the whole of yesterday was a dream. Please don’t wake me up.’

The biological museum in Stockholm. Beautiful dioramas so large, one can stroll through them. One source indicates that the backdrops were painted by the master of wildlife painting, Bruno Liljefors, which if true, would make these his largest works. Do keep in mind, with the exception of the taxidermy animal skins, the scientific work of art you see is entirely hand made. I’ll post more images of this museum, but I wanted to post this one first to show the wonderful size. Photo by Bigert & Bergström

A Swedish girl took some photos of dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History. Here’s a close up of a couple of vultures fighting over a zebra. Submitted by Saintadrienne

From Kim Boske “decay can be very slow”. As with most large scale diorama, everything in this image is fake.
