Inside the facilities of the Zoo of the delights in Maracay Venezuela, there is a Taxidermist Museum I tell you that I did not know what that means until the girl in charge of the place explained to me what taxidermy means, before the reopening of the zoo there was a serpentarium and I really did not enter because of the phobia I have to snakes, so they used the facilities and created this museum.
According to what the girl explained to me, taxidermy is a technique used to preserve the organs and skin of a dead animal so that it retains its physical appearance, for decorative and scientific purposes for future studies, certainly I was very struck by some that were there it seemed that they were alive, but you can not touch them.
There was a corner of skins of felines and snakes preserved with the same technique without the organs, some were confiscated from collectors according to the girl who told me that this active is prohibited, of course there were other species on display.
The museum also exhibits old black and white paintings of the first zoo, of the summer house of the dictator and military president Juan Vicente Gómez, who ruled the country from 1908 to 1935, as well as some paintings of the history of Maracay.
They even have iron chairs, a resistant material normally used for the garden precisely because of the resistance of course recovered since they are many years old, however they look like new, I even sat down hahaha.
