Not so long ago, the Kansas City Zoo organized a walk for three Humboldt Penguins to a nearby Nelson-Atkins art gallery. The charming Bubbles, Maggie and Berkeley stormed the collection of Impressionist masterpieces. The head of the zoo, Randy Wisthoff, said that he and his staff are constantly looking for a way to enrich the lives of their wards and dispel their sadness. The fact is that animals are madly bored without visitors and regular communication.
Of course, both institutions could not help but capture the meeting of wonderful flightless birds and high art. The director of the museum, in turn, noted that the birds, in her opinion, liked Caravaggio much more than Monet. Although she expected a completely different effect and put on Monet with his beautiful water lilies in cool colors. In addition, the penguins who arrived at the zoo from Peru, perked up and amused when they heard Spanish speech in the museum. Their “native language” is spoken here by Juliana Zugazagoitia – head of the museum.
