The Horniman Museum and Gardens is an inspiring, surprising, family-friendly, free attraction in South London’s Forest Hill. We’ve been open since Victorian times, when Frederick John Horniman first opened his house and extraordinary collection of objects to visitors. Since then, our collection has grown tenfold and includes internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments, as well as an acclaimed aquarium and natural history collection.
Unusually for such an important museum, you can see our collection up-close and face-to-face. You can even pick up, try on and play with some of our objects.

Amazing work and Jazmine made the ferret looking animal look more adorable. I don't understand how anyone could NOT see how artists like her create these amazing recreations of the living are a good thing. Now, people can study and see the animals much easier. At least she isn't a trophy hunter type!
That's a weasel not a ferret sorry
What’s wrong with hunting?
Lexington Carrera completely agree
It's a stoat. It says at the beginning of the film that it's a stoat.
@@leximan34 Because, as I commented, TROPHY HUNTING. Is just as implied. Hunting is for sustenance, conservation, an obvious need. I have no qualm with hunters.
I am a taxidermist as well. I do work on animals dead from both natural causes and hunting. I am still an ethical taxidermist. There is nothing wrong with working on hunted animals as well. They deserve to be honored in the same way as those animals who died naturally.
Man, I love the techniques used to make these creations! The way she measures the exact size and space apart from the front legs and back legs is amazing! I hope to do some proper taxidermy soon, so this video has already taught me some things that could help me a lot!
This is the best taxidermy video I've seen. Beautiful work and great to see the process done so carefully.
I personally couldn't do Taxidermy, as it would break my heart, but it is rather fascinating to see the process and craftsmanship behind it.
i learned some from this video but wish someone spoke and explained things as the video went on even so great video thank you for taking time to share it
Thanks for your comment Jean - if you are interested in the process Jazmine wrote a piece about the taxidermy process for us too www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
Truly awesome job by Jazmine. I'm impressed by the detailed and committed work. The results are perfect, natural and fully enjoyable.
I love that she used the animal’s skull underneath the skin. I believe most taxidermists don’t so that, it’s sort of nice that they’re not only using the hide.
Merhaba, benim kanarya kuş öldü, tahnit yapmak için başladığım yolda sadece kuş kafatası kaldı. Sizce kafatası içinde kalsın mı yoksa çıkartmam lazım mı
on many small animals people often use the organic skull of the animal as it is easy too preserve and light weight. As you move on too larger animals any amount of meat left in a crevace of a skull could cause issues and they become too heavy. Also with ducks and geese artificial heads are often used because the outer layer of their beaks tend too dry out, crack, and flake off as time goes by.
The complete lack of sound is so much more unnerving that the skinning ever could be.
Such a remarkable work!!! Thanks for sharing it.
5:48 I found one yesterday, I always wondered why they die so easily.While I was skining it, I broke like 10 bones absolutely randomly, so now I know why
It’s cool how she takes that much time for a simple small creature, when a lot of
Taxidermist. Would just throw it together real quick and not make it
Perfect
Really like the moist paper towel idea to keep the skin moist while drying the feathers on that bird! Will be using this myself.
Also like the way you make your own forms, very cool!
that's one handsome stoat. she did very well.
That was a dry stoat. Those little birds are so difficult well done! =)
Pure talent! Incredible work!
Why is there no sound ?
Max Kat probably had a copyright song that got taken off
great job!
Beatiful art work
Wow, amazing work!
Fantastic skills!!!
wow this is amazing!!!
This is amazing
Que belo trabalho , parabéns. Ótimo vídeo.👏👏👏
very very hard work
Отличная работа 👍
Wow! She is veery talented!!
Beautiful!
Agreed!
very nice old school work
Fascinating
Good job
May I know the liquid solution used in the taxidermy and what are their purpose. i hope that it is not a secret museum recipe.
Hi Marion, it is a pickling solution - you can find out more about Jazmine's process here: www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
a question. Do not have more detailed video courses on how to perform the tarxidermias that are shown or online classes? Greetings and thanks in advance.
Hi Edwin - we don't have tutorials, but Jazmine Miles-Long (the artist featured in the video) runs workshops on taxidermy jazminemileslong.com/Events
Really beautiful work, especially the stuffed string wrapped natural fibre body sculpture. Do you acid pickle the skin to preserve?
Yes, for mammals Jazmine pickles and tans the skin. This gives some more details to her process that you might be interested in: www.horniman.ac.uk/story/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy/
Art!!!!
Great.
1:03 what is solution ? thank you
I'd love to have that bird mount
What do you pickle a small bird like this in? Do you just flesh it, wash it and then use borax?
Your work is amazing!
Hi Linda, it is a pickling solution made by Jazmine Miles-Long, the artist - you can find out more about Jazmine's process here: www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
@@hornimanmuseum Do you have her pickling recipe available to the public? Is it different for birds and mammals?
@@LindaBissett We don't have her pickling recipe although you can get in touch with Jazmine directly through her website to ask her more about it: jazminemileslong.com/About-Contact
Me encanto
Cual es el método de curtido de la piel?
bravissima
I'm Japanese.
You seem to have the skin specimen soaked in liquid several times, Would it be possible for you to teach me what each liquid is?
I would also like to try to make skin specimen.I apologize for my poor English...
Hi E Rooze, Jazmine uses a pickling solution - you can find out more about Jazmine's process here: www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
@@hornimanmuseum Thank you for the quick reply.Thank you for teaching.
02:15 What is the name of the material you use?
where can i get this material?
can you help
Thank you
The paint you use is pastel paint?
With which medicine do you clean the animal's skin?
Yes i know this is
oh wow. It's a beautiful work. I'm study about biology in university but they don't teach me taxidermy. How can I learn it or any usniversity teach taxidermy?
Jazmine (the artist in the video) runs workshops about taxidermy on occasion and has a mailing list you can join to be notified about future events www.jazminemileslong.com/Workshops-Education
You r the real artist
Good 😊
Complimenti.... Saluti dall'italia.
How do you get the wings to stay open? Hold them open until they dry?
Patrick Bateman they probably used a wire armature to keep them open, similar to how they do long thin tails in other animals so they can be posed.
wires
That was formaldehyde that u used and dipped skin into?
Sorry for the late response - it was a pickling solution that Jasmine makes - you can find more info about her process here: www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
What do they do with the meat afterwards?
The flesh is discarded. You can find out more about the process here: www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
Quiero aprender taxidermia por medio de ustedes,,como podre comunicarme directamente .gracias.
Jazmine runs workshops on occasion, which are listed on her website. She also has a number of videos, which you might find useful embedded on her site too jazminemileslong.com/Workshops-Education
Hai.. I'm a taxidermist too.. I'm very curious what the mixture of water that u used for water bath the specimen.. Thank you.. 😊
Hi Samsol, Jazmine uses a pickling solution - you can read more about this here: www.horniman.ac.uk/story/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy/
What spesimen is?
This is weird.... I wish there was some soothing music in the background 😕
Woowwwwwwwwww ❤️
Whoaaaa
hello
magic
How am I here?
Se eu pudesse faria em minha gatinha 🐱que morreu hoje😥
What is this liquid please 🙏
Hi there, this is a pickling solution - you can read more about Jazmine's process here: www.horniman.ac.uk/story/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy/
🤩🤩🤩
For these small birds like tits ,do you use varnish satin (semi-gloss) , or varnish Matt,
for the beaks and the feet to keep them protected pls. Thks.
Hi Fenech, the best person to ask would be the artist Jazmine. You can find her contact details here: www.jazminemileslong.com/About-Contact
What a fantastic tutorial. Can't believe the results of the tit. I'd loose my mind doing something so dainty.
I love you girl
It am assuming it takes at least a day for a single specimen
Apologies for the delay, Jasmine said that "although I can complete a small bird in one day, I prefer to break up the stages over a few days so I can take my time and get the piece right." She talks about the process here www.horniman.ac.uk/story/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy/

Thanks you!

Taxidermy is a wonderful thing (if you kill the animal for no cause it’s not good)
A vegan’s horror movie
Not really. I think it's a very beautiful tribute. She's an ethical taxidermist. She only works with animals who've died of natural causes. I do the same, myself. I mostly work with animals I find dead or those i've rescued who die of natural causes in my possession, including pets. Death is as natural as life and even as a vegan, I understand that accidents can happen as well..my only issue has ever been with deliberately taking lives. Anyway, I love horror movies ;D
I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years and I have been taking taxidermy classes for the last 6 months, working only on animals found post-mortem. You have to appreciate and respect animals and anatomy to have a passion for it. The pieces I have made were all about honour and giving life to something that would have been discarded otherwise.
I guess vegans will love this. Because it brings animals back to life
I’ve been a vegetarian since I was born (I was raised as one) and I find taxidermy a wonderful way to recreate and remember the life of an animal that has unfortunately passed away. It’s a lovely tribute, and uses the body of an animal that otherwise would have been put to waste.
Vegan amateur taxidermist here! I think it's beautiful to make art out of death, so long as you are taking what's already dead like this lady does :)
I have a taxidermy of a tiger🐅
What is she soaking the skin in
It is a pickling solution of her own making, we believe. You can find out more about her process here: www.horniman.ac.uk/index.php/get_involved/blog/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy
@@hornimanmuseum thx
The beginning insinuates that animals harvested by hunting is unethical to mount? Why would this be so? As humans, we are animals. If we kill something with a purpose other than just to mount it, such as necessary food, that is nature. I'm not trying to argue whether or not hunting is ethical, for it simply is. I am trying to argue why preserving something's essence and beauty, that will likely otherwise go to the worms, birds, mice and bugs, is unethical?
Minus the crude insinuations, I liked the video and think that what she does is very cool!
Hi Coy, many thanks for your comments. In this film the use of the term ‘ethical taxidermy’ refers to the practice of using animals that have died from natural causes or as a result of an accident (like roadkill). The artists we work with take different approaches to their work, but have in common that they would not kill animals for the sole purpose of creating an artwork.
Here is some more information on how Jazmine describes herself as an artist - www.jazminemileslong.com/About-Contact
@@hornimanmuseum Oh, that makes perfect sense, and I completely respect her reasoning! :) Thanks for the reply.
@@hornimanmuseum Taxidermists and hunters alike do not kill animals for the purpose of creating artwork. We create artwork for the purpose of honoring the animal, the sacrifice, the hunt, and the blessing of food and memory. It is a shame to assume otherwise.
Anyone here to understand the working of a taxidermist 😅😅😂
horni man lol
It's more unethical to leave a stoat alive than dispatch it here.
Great video though, cheers.
Why do you kill animals and mummify them? Where are your feelings? Where are your heart, girl? They are poor animals 😢
Ethical taxidermy uses animals that have died of natural causes. They are then used to educate visitors about topics in the natural world, the climate emergency and evolution, among other things. You can read more about ethical taxidermy here: www.horniman.ac.uk/story/life-after-death-about-ethical-taxidermy/
"Ethical taxidermist", you would need to take the skin out of the animal alive in order to be unethical.
Nice job by the way
Hi Alexandre, Jazmine uses the term ethical taxidermist to mean that she uses animals that have died from a natural cause or accident, rather than killed for the purposes of taxidermy. For example, the specimen may have been hit by a car, flown into a window or died from old age or illness. You can read more about Jazmine's work here: www.horniman.ac.uk/story/ethical-taxidermy-where-do-the-animals-come-from/
2900 serial killers liked this video
Never killed anyone, but i guess i'm a serial killer now. Oh well.
Bro what
Ethical ?? So other taxidermists who take also animals who are legaly hunted are un-ethical ? Millannial talk !
Hunting is 👎🏼
