Before the Spring Thaw, Watch These Penguins Visit an Art Museum

With warmer weather coming to Boston later this week, winter seems to be on its way out. So let’s chill with some penguins while we can. This actually dates back…

With warmer weather coming to Boston later this week, winter seems to be on its way out. So let's chill with some penguins while we can.

This actually dates back to the height of the Coronavirus pandemic last year, when everything everywhere was closed. Some enterprising minds at the Kansas City Zoo reached out to the nearby Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to arrange a visit. They figured, with no one coming to the zoo to see the animals, and no one allowed in the museum, they might as well bring some animals to the museum.

The result? Penguins touring art galleries. Check it out.
