Cats at The Museum

May 18 is International Museum Day, and this year the objective is to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” 

Have snapped photos of cats at art and natural history museums in my travels; here are a few:

The Graham Children, 1742

I love museums, and visit them whenever I can, and wherever I roam.
