About
Inspired by the work of the artist Bill Burns, this Family Sunday looks how animals help us in our daily lives, how climate change and industrialization puts them at risk and how we can help the animal kingdom adapt and thrive in our changing world. Explore the gallery collections to discover stories of human and animal kinship and use your imagination to create helpful devices that could be used by our furry and feathered friends.
