Taxidermy Art Show Opens At Bean Museum The highly popular Ramses II exhibit ex-hibit left Brigham Young University's Univer-sity's Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum several weeks ago, but the building will attract visitors once again when a far different exhibit opens Saturday (May 10). The fourth annual Taxidermy Art Show and competition will take place at the Bean Museum May 10-23. The exhibit is free. Wesley "Skip" Skidmore, chief taxidermist for the museum and director of the exhibit, said 244 mounted animal specimens will fill the entire main level of the building. "The show will appeal not only to sportsmen but to the general public because of the wide variety of wildlife represented," said Skidmore. Exhibit items include a white-tailed white-tailed wildebeest from Africa, a mountain lion, a 63-pound king salmon, ruddy shell ducks from Australia, and a cedar wax wing bird. The pieces have been entered by 100 taxidermists, most of them from Utah but several from other Inter-mountain Inter-mountain states. About three-quarters three-quarters of the entrants consider taxidermy tax-idermy their hobby while the rest are taxidermists by occupation. Judges from throughout the United States will jury the show, and the Best of Show winner will be given a trip to the World Taxidermy Championships Cham-pionships in Lawrence, Kan., scheduled schedul-ed for the end of May. "Though the show is for public display, it is also an educational opportunity op-portunity for taxidermists because it is a source of seminars and critiques," criti-ques," said Skidmore. "Those displaying will be able to take what the judges say and learn how to improve im-prove the quality of their product." vTwo public, seminars will be of-' of-' f ered during the Bean Museum show, both of them free. On May 12 at 7 p.m. in the museum auditorium, Roger Ballard of San Diego will give a "Predator Calling" presentation.

Ballard recently donated a collection of. 54 mounted animals to the Bean Museum, and they will be displayed on the third floor during the taxidermy taxider-my show. In addition, Skidmore said, the taxidermy exhibit will include displays on how to take care of a killed kill-ed animal so it can be mounted, how animals are mounted, and how taxidermy tax-idermy is judged. The show is co-sponsored by the Utah Taxidermy Association. DR.
