FUR, FEATHERS AND FAMILY: OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANIMALS
Do you have a favorite animal? A favorite pet? What kind of pet do you have?
Come see how artists have depicted their favorite animals and pets - even
a rhinoceros - in prints, paintings, ceramics, and sculpture. There’s
even a place where you can draw a picture of your favorite pet!
Animals have an important place in human lives as companions and dependable workers. Kids can learn more about animals - how to care for them, the history of domestication, and how to pick a pet - through educational materials in the exhibition.
