An art museum in Missouri closed due to lockdown has given a private viewing to some special visitors: three Peruvian penguins from a nearby zoo. Kansas City???s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, welcomed Bubbles (5), Maggie (7), and Berkley (8) in to wander its empty halls as the state???s lockdown measures keep public spaces closed to humans. CEO Juli?An Zugazagoitia welcomed the ??sspecial friends??? from the zoo, who waddled around quietly in a two-foot-tall phalanx to peruse the works on display, stopping here and there. The Nelson-Atkins boasts an internationally renowned collection of art from across the world, with more than 34,000 objects including African art and sculpture spanning two millennia, a vast Asian collection, and paintings by European masters from El Greco to Reubens to Van Gogh. According to the zoo???s CEO, Randy Wisthoff, a trip to the museum, it seems, was just the thing to lift their spirits and open their minds. ??sTaking care of wild animals at the Kansas City Zoo, we???re always looking to enrich their lives and stimulate their days,??? he said. ??sAnd during this shutdown period, our animals really miss having visitors come out and see them.??? Mr Zugazagoitia said they made their feelings clear enough. ??sWe???re seeing how they???re reacting to art. They seem to react much better to Caravaggio than Monet. And these are Peruvian penguins, so we were speaking a bit in Spanish, and they really appreciated art history.??? The museum and the zoo examined everything before the visit to make sure it was safe for the birds. Julian told TIME that he was worried about their visit going smoothly but is pleased that it brought a smile to some people at this time. He said: "It really brought us joy, and I think it brings the community together when the love of animals and the empathy we feel for them is also reinforced by the love that we feel for art."
