Large animals and small ones, imaginary beasts and creepy-crawlies, a headless chicken and a blue dog – see them all in this exhibition of works from the museum’s collection.

The animals have been sheltering in the depot and have been let loose specially for this exhibition.

There are touching dog portraits by the Groningen painter Otto Eerelman, cows from the Hague School, and Japanese prints showing horses on the battlefield. Some of the animals carry symbolic meaning; others appear to have been portrayed simply for their beauty.
