Art By Animals
This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
Do animals make art? This exhibition includes paintings by apes and elephants and examines whether they are artistic works or just pointless lines on a page. Placing their handiwork alongside animal specimens and historical documentation we explore why some animal creations are considered valuable and creative, while others are dismissed as meaningless. Part of the Humanimals Season at the Grant Museum. Admission is free and there is no need to book.
Time: Weekdays, 1pm - 5pm The Museum is closed for the Easter break on 5-11 April inclusive. Price: Free. There is no need to book 0203 1082052
