Petites & grosses bêtes

The animal has always been one of the major figures of the toy world. Prehistoric animals, wild animals, pets and fantastic creatures people the child’s world. From insects and birds to animal portrayals of humans and theatre, circus and video game animals, this exhibition brings together creatures great and small, echoing the theme currently explored in the Study Gallery.

Animal
18 February 2010–30 November 2011
The new Study Gallery exhibition compares the styles, forms and periods in which animals have been used in furniture, tableware, fashion, textiles, toys, posters and jewellery, illustrating the countless ways in which we have integrated the animal into our daily surroundings. Seven themes are explored: the animal as material, finery, form, decoration, mirror of mankind, hero and mythical creature or monster.
