Contemporary art humour.
Gallery goers mistaking a slaughterhouse or abattoir for a contemporary art gallery.
The cartoon depicts two visitors to an art gallery admiring an artwork composed of animal carcasses hanging from hooks.
The humour in the cartoon lies in the fact that they aren’t in an art gallery at all – they are in a real slaughterhouse next door to an art gallery.
