Many attractions in Uzbekistan have been restored and then left with the quandary of what to put in all the lovely, empty rooms. Some fancy furniture, maybe textiles? Frequently, stuffed animals fill the void. Taxidermy rocks!
The Khudayar Khan Palace in Kokand devotes a little space to some dead creatures. The combination of old, stuffed animals against what looks like extreme blow ups of low-res photographs makes for a bit of a surreal impression.
Display cabinets with additional creatures that didn't make the cut into a case.
Hello eyeless...what? Deranged duck.
Owl, perhaps waiting on a tootsie pop.
Fierce pheasant. Another fuzzy animal. A mini bear with a shag overcoat? Fashionable wolf?
Back in the marsh, this duck did a bit of an over-bleach. Oh, the vanity.
