About Wilderness by Klaus
Museum-quality wildlife displays, custom habitat design, and turnkey installation for outdoor retailers, hunter trophy rooms, and educational exhibits.
Where it began...
More than three decades ago, artist and outdoorsman Klaus Lebrecht began perfecting lifelike antler and nature reproductions utilizing cutting edge polymers. What started in the taxidermy world with Antlers by Klaus soon evolved into a proprietary process for hyper-realistic habitat elements—from sculpted rockwork and botanically accurate trees to immersive murals—crafted to meet museum standards and retail durability. Early adopters included Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, the NRA, and the National Turkey Federation, who needed authentic wildlife displays that hold up to heavy traffic and close inspection.
Core strengths we still live by:
- Hand-built realism: rockwork, trees, water features, terrain, and murals
- Design-build efficiency: concept, fabrication, and on-site installation
- Premium materials: engineered for long-term color, texture, and wear
Where it went...
As clients asked for complete environments—not just isolated mounts—Klaus launched Wilderness by Klaus to design, fabricate, and install immersive wildlife habitats at scale. Today we serve outdoor retail stores, museums & nature centers, theme parks, resorts, and private clients seeking custom trophy room design that tells a story. We added specialized divisions and techniques to deliver turnkey scenic theming, interpretive/educational signage, protective retention rails, and annual cleaning & restoration to keep exhibits looking new.
What we do for our clients:
- Outdoor Retail: traffic-proof wildlife displays and environmental theming that boost dwell time and brand storytelling—complete with murals, interpretive graphics, lighting coordination, and discreet service access.
- Hunter Trophy Rooms: bespoke trophy room design that stages your mounts in lifelike scenes—authentic terrain, native vegetation, diorama backdrops, and curated artifacts.
- Museums & Nature Centers: educational exhibits that engage visitors—accurate habitats, durable finishes, seating, cabinetry, and informational signage aligned with programming goals.
- Attractions & Theming: immersive environments for theme parks, zoos, aquariums, resorts, and family entertainment centers—rockwork, trees, water features, murals, queue-line theming, and photo ops.
