National Museum of Animals & Society Grand Opening

The exhibit explores our common perceptions of chickens and contrasts these stereotypes with studies of chickens’ complex behavior, cognition, and emotions, as well as the realities of life for the 40 billion chickens found on farmsteads. The exhibit also illuminates the ongoing legacy of advocates working on behalf of chickens.

UnCooped celebrates this underappreciated species through the works of artists including Yvette Watt, Sharon Lee Hart, Shelby Prindaville, Nicolas Lampert, L.A. Watson, Kathryn Eddy, Mary Britton Clouse, Jo-Anne McArthur, Angie Carreiro, and Janell O'Rourke.
