Italian Art Lovers Have An Animal Attraction

We're all for getting a bit cultural on our travels but perhaps the latest exhibition planned for the Galleria d'arte Giudecca in Venice is taking art a gallop too far.

Turns out that this Italian gallery is planning a spring exhibition of the works of a new artist... who happens to be a horse. As you'd expect, these paintings seem to belong to the abstract genre and aren't exactly what we'd want on our wall, but apparently there are buyers out there. It gets better: The horse's owner reckons the animal could be a reincarnation of someone like Monet.

Come on. We thought art galleries are serious businesses, but these guys seem to be just, well, horsing around.
