About the exhibition

Image of Anatomy Lessons, the touring exhibition, while at Tuhura Otago Museum.

Featuring meticulously-sculpted, life-size, skeletons, this exhibition is breathtaking and ethereal, making the visitor question their place in this web of the living and the dead.

Each creature, a real animal, is painstakingly measured, drawn, sculpted from steel, wire, and foam, and then knitted over, in a fine-art softening of the subject beneath. An exhibition 17-years in the making, the process is exacting, from sketching exhibition pieces to measuring bones in museum basements,

Beevors exactingly recreates and memorializes the life of the animal, expanding on the wider themes of human culpability; asking us to care.

"From the towering giraffe stretching 4.4 metres in height, head raised to the windowed ceiling, to the army of 50 plus delicately rendered frogs, it is astounding"

The exhibition received critical success in its New Zealand showing. Enthralling in scale and stories, Anatomy Lessons stunned and delighted audiences, and is now available for touring exhibition bookings throughout Australia.
