1948 February 9 - 1948 March 1
Summary
"Miniature Dog Models" featured over 65 figures of dogs modeled to scale by the sculptor Amory Coffin Simons. The exhibition showed six classifications of dogs: sporting, toy, hounds, non-sporting, terrier, and work dogs. According to George G. Goodwin, Associate Curator of the Department of Mammalogy at the Museum, dogs and wolves sprang from a common ancestor, and that primitive man made pets of animals living around him. The scale model dogs were on view in the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall at the American Museum of Natural History from February 9 until March 1, 1948.
Individuals and institutions involved in the creation of the exhibition: AMNH Department of Mammalogy.
