Q: What’s a museum cat’s favorite type of art?

A. Paw-traits!! (get it? Portraits)

Museum Cat believes curiosity is the best guide.

Museum cats are quiet observers. They wander freely, notice everything, and belong in spaces shaped by time and human creativity.

MUSEUM CAT embraces that same spirit — curious, thoughtful, and unafraid to wander across disciplines like art, history, and literature.
