A University of Notre Dame history gallery is the frontrunner to acquire the Brockhouse taxidermy collection if the rare animal exhibits are removed from the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls.

The Indiana school’s biodiversity museum is among five organizations and institutions being considered to take ownership of some or all of the Brockhouse collection that was marked for disposal 16 months ago.

The organizations expressed various interests and motivations for wanting the collection, but the Notre Dame Museum of Biodiversity earned the most attention from the work group that’s been vetting options for the specimens since 2023 amid public outcry about their removal from the zoo’s Delbridge Museum.
