The Ark on Tour: The Beautiful Beasts in Linenhall 27 Aug - 31 Dec 2016

Touring to three venues across Ireland, visit a weird and wonderful collection of animal sculptures curated by The Ark especially for children.

Amongst these quirky, loveable animals, you will find a flying horse, a tortoise with a secret story and a toucan in disguise! Created by leading Irish and international artists from materials ranging from bronze, woods, ceramics and steel, you can learn about the techniques used to create the artworks and feel samples of the materials used.

The Beautiful Beasts exhibition is made up of some of The Ark’s favourite pieces from its collection which spans its 21 years of commissioning professional artists to create work for children.
