ARTnimaux dans la ville

There's only one step from the museum to the city, and the museum invites you to take it!
Let's have a flutter, a flutter... shall we? Not from flower to flower, as these charming lepidopterans are inexorably in danger of extinction in France, but from animal to animal! Whether you're simply curious, keen to see the invisible, or a real investigator, attentive to detail, looking for clues and tracks, listening for the slightest rustle between car journeys. Because you're a gambler perhaps, or because you're up for an unusual stroll, or because heritage is important to you? Because you simply don't have any other fish to fry (what an idea, poor cats!)?
Now that's a mysterious way to start, isn't it?
You'll understand if we tell you that your mission, if you accept it, will be to detect during a historical and heritage walk around the city: here the author of a roar, there the author of a meow, a hiss, a neigh, a cancan... In short, you'll be on the hunt (without a gun, of course!) for the animals and hybrid beings that populate the façades of our monuments and our houses. You won't have to bury your head in the sand, you'll be looking up at pillars, ravens, capitals, weathervanes, frescoes, mosaics and even shop signs!
Would you like to follow the trail with us? Then head to the Musée de la Loire, which as you know is hosting a new exhibition, the aptly named ARTnimal! It'll be the perfect starting point for this safari tour, designed to encourage you to track down animals in a friendly atmosphere, and discover a little more about the history and unsuspected treasures of your city.
