This book is a unique and exclusive documentary volume published in conjunction with the landmark taxidermy exhibition organized by the Department of Museums Malaysia. It compiles a meticulously selected collection of animal specimens preserved through the art of taxidermy, beautifully bridging the gap between science, art, and wildlife conservation.

Centering on the theme "Eternal Life", the catalogue invites readers to explore how the physical forms of deceased fauna are given a "second life" as dynamic, organic sculptures. Beyond merely displaying the physical beauty of these creatures, the book documents the sheer dedication of local museum taxidermists in accurately maintaining the original anatomy, expressions, and lifelike postures of the animals, making them appear vividly realistic.
