Grant Museum of Zoology
Art by Animals
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.
Here is a video about the exhibition:
