Walter Potter was an English taxidermist noted for his anthropomorphic dioramas featuring stuffed animals mimicking human life, which he displayed at his museum in Bramber, Sussex, England. The exhibition was a well-known and popular example of “Victorian whimsy” for many years, even after Potter’s death; however enthusiasm for such entertainments waned in the twentieth century, and his collection was finally dispersed in 2003.
After 7 years, this bizarre collection has been reassembled for a one-off exhibition at the Museum of Everything in Primrose Hill, London, which will feature some of Mr Potter’s most famous works.
