    Hi folks,

    while browsing through an old edition of The Field, I stumbled across a short note about a taxidermied albino Chinese water deer (Hydropotes inermis) that was on display in the Shanghai Museum at the end of the 19th century. Going by the museum's current website, I'm wondering whether this has perhaps since been transferred to the more recently founded Shanghai Natural History Museum? Has anyone visited either museum recently?

    Cheers,
    Marc.
