It is, however, specialized in the preparation of skeletons of larger animal species, such as horses, deer, giraffes and even whales.
Mounted Animals
Frequently both skeleton and mounted animal can be realized from the same specimen.
Fossils & Dinosaurs
For exhibitions, casts and replicas are often used. Making such replicas is part of our regular activities. In addition, fossil preparation and restauration of bones is one of our specialties, such as repairing material of mammoth, giant deer and wooly rhinoceros.
