Meet the wild chimneypiece that lives in the Dining Room of the Huntington Art Gallery.

The GIFs come from a video that is part of a five-part suite of short, silent videos focusing on objects or architectural elements on view in the first-floor period rooms of the Huntington Art Gallery. Each video is installed on iPads in the room where the object is on view.

Read more about the iPads and other interpretive features of the period rooms on VERSO.
