MELTON CARNEGIE MUSEUM


Foxhunting
The Fox & Other Fauna:
Melton Carnegie MuseumLocal Animals and their HabitatLocal fauna are displayed in typical woodland habitats, with the fox looking enquiringly towards the Hunt display area.


The story of hunting is told, with quotes across the ages -- both pro- and anti- views expressed.


Shortly, it is hoped, to install a touch-sensitive screen which young people can use to learn ( in cartoon form) of the story of foxhunting.











The Huntsman:
Typical hunting wear 'pink'The case for and against hunting is given, and the apparel worn for hunting displayed.
Anti-hunt:
An Anti-hunt ProtestorWith hunting came protests against hunting. the museum recognises that that, too, needs to be faithfully recorded and displayed.
