WATCH: Penguins take quarantine field trip to Missouri fine arts museum

Sometimes even penguins get the blues.

That’s precisely why the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, partnered recently with the Kansas City Zoo to give the flightless waddlers a “morning of fine art and culture.”

Watch the video below.

Both attractions are currently closed to the public due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, but the field trip violated no known social distancing guidelines and helped the Humboldt penguins cope a little with their cabin fever in the absence of daily visitors, NPR reported.

"We're always looking for ways to enrich their lives and stimulate their days and during this shutdown period, our animals really miss visitors coming up to see them," Randy Wisthoff, the zoo’s executive director, said in the video.

Julián Zugazagoitia, the museum’s director, also muses in the video that penguins seemed to “really appreciate” when he spoke Spanish, which could be because they hail from Peru and Chile.
