Zoo in the House: Animals in the Doris Duke Art Collection

A special exhibit in the galleries at Rough Point

April 10 - November 8, 2008

Doris Duke was an animal lover and kept numerous pets at Rough Point (including two camels!).  Her vast art collection featured a wonderful array of pieces depicting animals as friends, adversaries and allegories.  Highlights of the exhibit include a Tang Dynasty earthenware camel and horse, a bronze lion by Barye, a painting by Julien Dupre and several Audubon prints.
