Amsterdam's Art Zoo puts visitors in cages, animals roam free

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA new museum in Amsterdam puts the visitors in metal cages while the taxidermy animals roam free around them.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe artists, Jaap Sinke and Ferry van Tongeren, opened Art Zoo in a seventeenth-century canal house, and the AP says a twelve-foot crocodile greets you at the door with its mouth open.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTime says sixteen feet, hanging from the ceiling. The crocodile is simply reporting at the size that suits the room.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVan Tongeren says, quote, we really like the concept of having all the people in a cage and then all the animals free. And none of the animals were taken from the wild.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call it a guest-forward enclosure experience. Custom-made cages, black metal, and a front-row view of the crocodile.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVerdict: five stars, with a ceiling crocodile.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd the building used to be a Biblical museum, so the artists say honoring Darwin there is a nice irony.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDoes the ticket come with a key, or just a really nice view of the crocodile?
