Pittsburgh's original Buhl Planetarium and Institute
of Popular Science maintained a very popular
chick-hatching exhibit during most of the 1980s.
Chicks were hatched each weekend, and during holiday
periods and for special events, in a used commercial
hatcher, redesigned so children could easily view the
entire hatching process. I created the "BioCorner"
embryology exhibit and was Curator of the exhibit from
1983-1987.

exhibit, to the following URL:

Hello,
I'm looking for information on how science museums
approach their live
animal collections. Specifically, I'm interested in
if other museums
have
formal animal policies in place. We're in the process
of developing a
Living Collection Policy (parallel to the one we have
for our natural
science and cultural collections.) I'd like to see
some other examples
to
compare with our own. (AZA has guidelines but they
are a bit beyond
where
we are aiming.)
Thanks in advance for sharing recommendations and
examples!
