Because you need something fun after the first week of school.

Part fun and educational, “Menagerie at the Museum” features tons of local and exotic animals—like hawks, kestrels (small falcon pictured), eagles, snakes, alligators, lemurs, skunks, miniature horses—in addition to discounted access to all of the James Museum’s additional exhibitions.

“Un/Natural Selections,” which runs through Sunday, Sept. 17, explores how “contemporary artists use animal imagery to address humanity’s interconnectedness with the natural world.” The James is collaborating with various other partners for this weekend’s event, including organizations and local institutions like the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Friends of Boyd Hill, Honey’s Mini Therapy Adventures, Humane Society of Pinellas, Seaside Seabird Sanctuary and SPCA Tampa Bay.

Tickets for “Menagerie at the Museum” happening Saturday, Aug. 19 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at St. Pete’s The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art are just $5 (and free for members). Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
