The bird stored folded for 200 years | In the Conservation Studio | British Library

Stored folded for 200 years, finally able to stretch his wings – that’s got to feel good! 🦅

Watch Alexa, one of our conservators, prepare this life-size depiction of a jabiru for his time in the limelight.

See the jabiru in all his magnificence in-person at our current exhibition Animals: Art, Science and Sound: https://www.bl.uk/events/animals
