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”.
