About
From the earliest rock paintings to contemporary works, animals have featured in art for thousands of years. For many artists, animals are subjects that allow them to share ideas and experiences.
In this trail activity, you can discover a wild and wonderful menagerie of animals hiding in the Australian Art Collection, by looking for the symbol below on labels in the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Galleries.
