The Art and Science of Monkeys

Explore art and science related to monkeys. Smithsonian collections hold examples of monkeys dressed and acting as humans (known as singerie) as well as some serious science about their protection in the future. The Smithsonian’s National Zoo is home to more than a dozen species of primates.
