Master taxidermist Mike Orthober will be showcasing his skills at the Door County Historical Museum next Saturday, August 24. The “Season of Life” exhibit at the museum has been growing over the past twenty years. Orthober has mounted a variety of specimens including birds and mammals. He will be mounting a new bird and talking about the art and science of taxidermy. Well known for his work in taxidermy, Orthober has won national and world-wide awards and was inducted into the National Taxidermy Hall of Fame last month in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He shares some of the more challenging subjects he has worked on in the nature diorama.
