A Trio of Penguins
According to the June 12, 2020, issue of The Week Magazine, "A trio of penguins bored by the lockdown of their zoo were given a private tour of an art gallery in Kansas City to 'enrich and stimulate' them. 'Our animals really miss humans coming up to see them,' said Randy Wisthoff, the Kansas City Zoo's CEO. So he and museum officials arranged the visit to the Nelson-Atkins Museum, where the penguins waddled through empty galleries, gazing up at the paintings. 'They seem to react much better to Caravaggio than Monet,' noted the museum's director."
