From the Canadian moose or the giant stag with antlers 3.5m wide that disappeared during the Ice Age, down to Latin America's Pudu or the 6 hands (60 cm) high Muntiak from South-East Asia, all members of the cervidae family interest the Landesmuseum Joanneum. All of the human approaches to it, too. Hunting trophy, cave painting or advertising icon, the many faces of the animal in contemporary culture are represented. One can even smile back at a great taxidermized moose.
