Taxidermy At The Samarkand Museum

The main museum in Samarkand has a bit of everything. Archeological artifacts, period rooms, some Jewish history. If you're into old animals, plenty of interesting examples of taxidermy critters.

One of the gallery rooms. Vintage all around.

Lions, tigers and bears? Well, a bear, a fox, some prairie dog things, and other beige stuff. Colorful fowl.

Birds of these feathers probably don't flock together. Unless stuffed.

A hare, danger coming from the left. Bear torso, sewn.

More danger. That mouth could use some dental work.
