My main task at the museum is to conserve vertebrates for exhibitions and scientific collections.
I am particularly interested in the construction of dermosculptures of mammals. For that matter, the preoccupation with the anatomy, the basis for a true-to-life expression, brings me great joy.

Apprenticeship

We offer in regular intervals quality apprenticeship training positions in the domain of natural sciences preparation, subject to the regulations of the professional association (as of 18 years).

I offer on demand and as far as possible apprenticeship training positions (for persons in an officially recognised apprenticeship as scientific taxidermist) in the domains of dermosculpture, taxidermy and scientific preparation.
