"Working holiday" at the museum
Ever thought of becoming a taxidermist or marine biologist, a
zoologist or museologist? Iziko Museums will offer participants
an insight into a host of interesting careers when they run a
series of informative workshops these holidays.
From 10-14 April, the
taxidermy
workshop offers an introduction to this unusual craft and
its diverse applications, including preparing, mounting and
preserving of small animals and birds. The 4-day, full-day,
course costs R100 per person and runs at
Iziko SA Museum.
On 10 April, from 13:30-16:30, 10-12-year olds will
visit a rock
pool and learn how to find, identify and classify a variety
of marine creatures. The cost is R10 per person, venue to be
confirmed.
On 12 April, from 10:00-12:00, 8-11-year olds can learn about
the "secret life" of a natural
history museum. From whales to dinosaurs, from shamans to
hidden treasure, participants are promised a morning of fun and
surprises as they embark on a "treasure
hunt at the Iziko SA Museum". The cost is R10 per person.
