Why a museum diorama recently gained a set of whiskers
In short: Explore the meticulous restoration of the American Museum of Natural History's cougar exhibit, where fine details were added to bring the Grand Canyon scene to life.
The video details the recent updates to the Hall of North American Mammals, which reopened in October 2012. The restoration focused on the cougar diorama, a scene set in the Grand Canyon—a location designated as a national monument in 1908 by Theodore Roosevelt, a noted supporter of the Museum's conservation efforts. A key part of this recent work involved adding whiskers to the two mountain lions featured in the display.
