Recoloring the Animals in the Dioramas
Fluorescent lighting, embraced by diorama artists in the 1940s for its cool, blue-sky effect, eventually caused animal skins to fade, bleaching dark fur blond. To restore scientific accuracy, conservators searched for a just-right colorant that was light-stable, reversible or retreatable, and that wouldn't clump, mat, or bind the fur. The solution was a series of carefully mixed shades of a commercial dye. The restored Hall of North American Mammals reopened October 2012.
