At Leeds City Museum, exhibits are predominantly focussed on displaying the city’s history, but the centrepiece is a rather exotic creature. The Leeds Tiger arrived in the form of a skin rug presented to the museum in the 19th century. The curators decided to lend it a more lifelike quality by attempting clumsy taxidermy, stitching the pelt to another and stuffing their creation with straw. Despite its saggy posture, the Indian tiger is beloved by the people of Leeds who vigorously campaign against suggestions of its removal.
