Conservators and staff at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in south London winch the museum?s famous ?overstuffed? taxidermy Walrus into position in the centre of the natural history gallery in preparation for the gallery?s reopening in early 2027. The Walrus is a highlight of the museum and has been part of the museum?s collection since 1901. It was ?overstuffed? by conservators in the late 1800?
