Description: Medieval bestiaries combined art, science and moral lessons to reflect the thought, philosophies and values of the period. Over the centuries, artists and writers have continued to explore this form. Works such as Le bestiaire ou le cortège d'Orphée (The Bestiary, or The Parade of Orpheus) by Guillaume Apollinaire and Raoul Dufy reflect a modern sensibility and style within the ancient frameworks. In all eras, these works both explored the world, and helped define the human by depicting the non-human. The curators invite Caledon to come and be diverted and edified
