Take a quick tour of the exhibition BIRDS - Curated by The Goldfinch & Simon Schama. A guide will tell you all about the colourful collection of historical and contemporary artworks: from paintings to fashion and from audio installations to drawings. Spot the most remarkable and colourful birds in the arts, and discover the stories behind them.

Through works by Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Tracey Emin, Iris van Herpen and many other artists, you’ll learn more about the bond between humans and birds. How is it that birds are admired yet also caged? And what does that say about how humans treat nature?
