STUFFED: Film screening at the Museum of Natural History

Join us for an afternoon at the UI Museum of Natural History as we host a special screening of the film STUFFED. At 3 p.m., explore our table of collections and hear opening remarks from Cindy Opitz of the UI Museum of Natural History and Paloma Strong of Prey Taxidermy. The film screening will follow at 3:30 p.m. This event coincides with the World Taxidermy Competition, which will be held this year in Iowa, with artists from around the world in attendance. Prey Taxidermy, the only all-woman museum taxidermy studio in the world, was established in 2011 to inspire a new generation of museum taxidermists. With over 1,500 students from around the globe, Prey is dedicated to creating diversity and representation in the field of taxidermy. Their notable museum and education clients include the Natural History Museum of Santa Barbara, The Smithsonian, Moore Lab of Zoology, The Huntington Library, and The Getty.
