Rhoda,
Having worked with and visited museums around the world, I have never
been more impressed with a butterfly exhibit than I was at the
Paunsaugunt Wildlife Museum in Bryce Canyon, Utah. Robert Driedonks,
the owner/curator has impeccably mounted and displayed more than
1,400 butterfly specimens with the help of one of the leading
lepidopterists in the U.S. I'm sure he'd be happy to share
information with you.
His contact information is:
Robert Driedonks, Paunsaugunt WIldlife Museum
1945 West Scenic Hwy 12
Bryce, UT
(435) 834-5555
