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 dioramas at the California Academy of Sciences have great detail. Here, photographer Diane Fox captures a little beetle crawling over a flower, in a diorama that contain these miniature deer-like creatures. I’ve tried to convince the academy to release a small family of these miniature deer onto the living roof of the building. Still haven’t heard back!
