“Carnival of the Animals,” Danish sculptor Bjørn Okholm Skaarup’s first American museum exhibition, opens at the Bruce Museum on Oct. 31. The sculpture exhibition presents a contemporary bestiary — or classical book of animals — in bronze.
These indoor and outdoor sculptures display the vanishing art of large-scale bronze casting at its most versatile. They are at once accessible to young art enthusiasts, and rewarding to longtime students of art history.
“Bjørn Okholm Skaarups’s whimsical creations amuse and delight,” says Peter C. Sutton, The Susan E. Lynch Executive Director of the Bruce Museum. “Our Night at the Museum family event on November 6 is well-timed, since this is a show that is sure to captivate children of all ages.”
