Stiff Competition at the Baltimore Taxidermy Open

Walters Art Museum

“Taxidermy” conjures images of mounted safari trophies frozen in time, glaring from the fireplace mantels of victors’ dens. But the ‘Baltimore Taxidermy Open’ competition turns that stuffy concept on its head. We talk to judge Greg Hatem, co owner of  curio shop Bazaarand to Hannah Burstein, adult programming coodinator at the Walters Art Museum, which is hosting the event.
