Curious about taxidermy? Tonight, join Divya Anantharaman—NYC's premiere taxidermist and owner of Gotham Taxidermy—who will introduce you with a live demonstration, and then answer any questions you might have about all things taxidermy! Learn about the art of taxidermy, her classes, or anything else related to the field of specimen preservation.

A unique combination of science and style, Divya Anantharaman is New York City's premiere taxidermist. Their award winning work centers honor and compassion for animals, and seeks to combine the demonstrative aspect of scientific presentation with the symbolic, introspective nature of art. Their clients span museums, designers, gallerists, and collectors, though Divya most enjoys demystifying this scientific art in their beginner friendly classes. They've starred in the Emmy winning documentary, Rearranging Skin, which portrays taxidermy as a practice rooted in care. In her commitment to conservation, they also volunteer with NYC Bird Alliance, NYC Plover Project, and other efforts to engage diverse audiences with nature. You can learn more at gothamtaxidermy.com.
