Taxidermy

 Collier County operates five museums.  At the main museum in the complex near downtown Naples, there are perhaps fifteen separate exhibition areas.


One of the most interesting is a taxidermy display.  A doctor who moved to Naples in the middle of the last century caught specimens of a great many of the birds, fish and other wild animals in the county.  


A Fort Myers taxidermist preserved them.  They are now displayed in a small cottage on the grounds of the main Collier County museum.
