A quarantined couple created an art gallery for their gerbils 🐭
Marianna Benetti and her boyfriend Filippo Lorenzin, an independent curator and Sales Manager at the Victoria & Albert Museum, designed a tiny exhibition for their pet gerbils, Pandora and Tiramisu!
The gallery was furnished with rodent-themed takes on classic works of art - including the “Mousa Lisa”, as well as a sign reading “Do not chew”.
Can you recognize the other masterpieces on display?
➡️ Johannes Vermeer, Girl with Pearl Earring, circa 1665, from the Mauritshuis museum
➡️ Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893, from the Munch museum
➡️ Gustav Klimt, The Kiss, 1908, from the Belvedere museum
