In a salute to the Natural History Museum's exhibition design and production team, a number of the people who have worked on "Cats! Wild to Mild" were assembled for the portrait shown here. Key to the conceptualizing and detailed planning of the exhibition were Charles Fischer, assistant chief of exhibits and a specialist in diorama design; Joan Grasty, who provided an educator's perspective in the preparation of text and labels; Tim Bovard, our taxidermist, who designed and created the live mounts; Blaire Van Valkenburgh, an expert in carnivores and guest curator for the exhibition; and Jane Herwegh, the exhibit's designer and production coordinator. the exhibition was adapted for the Web by our webmaster, Jim Angus.
