Photographic Artist Jim Naughten is giving people the opportunity to play around with 1800's technology to turn his latest image collection from 2D stills into three-dimensional creations.
The 'Animal Kingdom' project features photos of Victorian and Edwardian Natural History specimens that Jim Naughten spent a year capturing at the Grant Museum of Zoology, Oxford Museum of Natural History, Cole Museum of Zoology, Museum of Life Sciences, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, Powell Cotton Museum and the Horniman Museum and Gardens.

The photographs will be exhibited in London and New York where visitors will be able to bring 2D captures to life through stereoscopy – a technique that was developed in the 1800's to create the illusion of viewing images in three dimensions.
