Abstract
This paper considers the influence of the museum space on its taxidermy collections as their own heterotopic sites of expression, that of a lost or forgotten metaphorical zoological garden. The taxidermy specimen is ambiguous, it is both of itself and something other - in its skin of likeness its materiality is present, but also absent, wrapped in metaphor and construction.
