The MiniTEA space hosts until September 10 the exhibition and activities program entitled Little Animals! The exhibition is made up of fifteen works from the TEA Collection and offers the visitor a journey through the animal kingdom, approached from different points of view. The origin of the domestication of animals, pets, the image of the animal in children’s imagination and the consequences of animal exploitation for the ecosystem are some of the questions that this exhibition wants to put on the table.
