Oct. 9 Animal Stories Launch at The Gardiner

On Wednesday, the Gardiner Museum launches the family friendly exhibit Animal Stories. It runs until January 12th.
The museum opposite the ROM, which is devoted to ceramics, describes the exhibit this way:
"Elephants, leopards, dogs, squirrels and dragons… From exotic creatures, household pets, urban wildlife to mythical beasts, animals have been an active part of human experience, an inexhaustible trigger of the imagination. Animal Stories presents the many tales of our encounters with the animal world, shedding light on how our social, symbolic, affectionate, scientific and utilitarian relationships with animals have been visualized through ceramics from the 17th century to our day."

Cheers,
Vanessa
