Visitor Information

Daily 11am-8pm (Thu until 10pm)

Take a walk through this most unusual aviary. Trained as a musician and composer, French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot has created this installation by "drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways" – so on walking through the space you'll find a flock of zebra finches perched atopelectric guitars and other instruments and objects. As the birds go about their routine activities they create a captivating, live soundscape.
