From the horse bought at auction to pull the family carriage, to the adopted kitten curled up on the living room couch, animals have always been part of the social fabric in America. Our relationship with our companion animals has changed dramatically over time, however, as have our notions of how a pet can enhance our lives. Through a diverse display of art and objects, Petropolis: A Social History of Urban Animal Companions depicts the evolution of that bond.(Sponsored by Purina, the Petropolis exhibit ran in 2003 at the New-York Historical Society, and now has a permanent home on the Web.)
