The Royal Museums of Turin presents the exhibition Animals at Court, from May 5 to October 16, 2022. Twenty-five works and installations by Italian artists of the present and recent past depicting animals.

From May 5 to October 16, 2022, the Royal Museums of Turin presents the exhibition Animals at Court. Lives Never Seen in the Royal Gardens, curated by Stefania Dassi and Carla Testore, as part of the larger project Lives on Earth, whose goal is to bring attention to the life forms that inhabit our planet, particularly animals.

The exhibition route intends to bring the techniques and languages ofcontemporary art into dialogue with the environments of the ancient residence, but it will also run partly in the Royal Gardens. The animal world and its artistic interpretations lend themselves to representing the places of the past, mythology, beliefs and the very evolution of humankind. The works will therefore populate not only the exterior, but also some rooms of the Royal Museums (Royal Palace, Royal Armory and Sabauda Gallery), to establish cross-references and connections between the sculptures and the animals depicted in the works in the museums.

The animal world will be interpreted through twenty-five works and installations by Italian artists of the present and recent past, each with their own expressive language and their own execution techniques and materials. The artists in the exhibition are Mariagrazia Abbaldo and Paolo Albertelli, Maura Banfo, Nazareno Biondo, Nicola Bolla, Stefano Bombardieri. Jessica Carroll, Fabrizio Corneli, Cracking Art, Diego Dutto, Ezio Gribaudo, Michele Guaschino, Luigi Mainolfi, Gino Marotta, Mario Merz, Pino Pascali and Velasco Vitali.
