Museum Staff Cleaning Elephant Skin, from the American Museum of Natural History (Mommy, why did the lelephant take his clothes off?)

The above photo is from the new web-based exhibit Picturing The Museum from the American Museum of Natural History Research Library. This came to me via Morbid Anatomy.

Can I just say? Those men are cleaning an elephant skin. With no elephant inside. It makes my ontology ache.
