Detroit, MI.- The Detroit Institute of Arts is proud to present “It’s a Zoo in Here! Prints and Drawings of Animals” until September 25th. Herds of cattle and strings of ponies as well as pods of dolphins, ostentations of peacocks and lounges of lizards are just some of the subjects of more than 150 prints and drawings selected from the DIA collection to form this exhibition. Regardless of culture and despite centuries of time, artists of all generations are united in their portrayals of animals in a multitude of activities and roles.
