Elephants Without Number

Elephants are more than just the massive, captivating creatures we admire in zoos and photographs. They’re complex, social creatures—intelligent and outgoing, capable of expressing joy and sadness. They also have a long and storied presence in Indian mythology, art, and culture.

This web collection features elephants in multiple roles on paintings, sketches, prints, and sculptures drawn from the exhibitions Elephants Without Number (November 24, 2015–June 26, 2016) and Elephants on Parade (February 18–August 6, 2006).
