If you think taxidermy is a dying art, go to Paxton Gate and take a class on how to stuff your own mouse. If that's a bit too hands-on, you can buy one dressed in a cute little outfit, in a shadow box. Paxton Gate also sells mounted bugs, animal skeletons fossils of all types, bell jars, pedestals and other decorative items for those whose taste leans towards the macabre.
