Tasmanian Tiger: case study of the Museum of Extinction
Thylacinus Cynocephalus,Marsupial from Australia commonly known by the name ofTasmanian Tiger, was declared extinct in 1936. It is an example of how a legend is established betweenreality, fiction and popular myth.
My interest of the Tasmanian tiger happened in Australia, during my residency at the University of Western Sydney, NEPEAN in 1993. In one of those outings in Sydney,to the Tasmanian school of art, while visiting the island, I found a beer with a label ofthe Tasmanian tiger.
