5000 ceramic rhino horns

Change in Attitudes at Nunnington Hall 

See artist Layla Khoo's response to conservation work of the big cat skins at Nunnington Hall. On display in the stone hall, 5,000 small porcelain rhino horns help to draw the parallel between the artwork and the animals in the wild. You are invited to take one home as a souvenir, but the moral dilemma that each one taken cannot be replaced and will leave fewer and fewer for others to experience.
