Ghost of Gone Birds. Over 100 artists were invited to choose an extinct bird and produce a piece of art inspired by that particular bird and celebrating its glory days. Birds celebrated in the show include the Dodo, the Matinique Amazon Parrot, the Black Mamo and the Great Auk.

That is great. It's particularly nice to see the Great Auks in pursuit of fish because sometimes they come off as just a comical bird when they're on land. Like the Dodo unfortunately.
