The cawing of a crow is heard on the street in front of the museum. It is nothing unusual, so passers-by often ignore it, and yet its presence and its diversity are perplexing. Is it one crow or are there several? The cawing sounds similar but never the same. The pointed pauses and the sound echoing off the walls of the building make it seem almost as if several crows were chatting. Although their calls sounds like hoarse cawing to us, crows are songbirds, making sounds to communicate with other birds and to try to attract them to a place.
