According to the zoo's director, the penguins “absolutely loved” their museum visit.
last week. “So several of the penguins decided to go on a field trip to the Nelson-Atkins, which is still closed, to get a little culture.”The museum’s director, Julián Zugazagoitia, opened by saying he was happy to host members of the zoo to his museum, especially the penguins, and was interested in seeing how they reacted to the art.
The Humboldt penguins genuinely seem interested in their new surroundings, and the zoo’s executive director Randy Wisthoff said they’re always looking for ways to “enrich their lives and stimulate their days during this shutdown period,” and what better way to do so than visiting a local museum?The birds “seemed definitely to react much better to Caravaggio than to Monet,” Zugazagoitia noted during the video, joking that he spoke Spanish to the penguins, who are native to Chile and Peru.
The museum and zoo have both been closed since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic and are missing having patrons come through their doors. Wisthoff said in the video that the penguins have really missed “visitors coming up to see them” during the shutdown, too. According to Wisthoff, the penguins “absolutely loved” their museum visit, and I think I speak for everyone when I say this should become a regular occurrence even after this pandemic is over because penguins visiting museums is the kind of news we need every day.
