Jordi Sabater Pi (1922-2009) was a Catalan naturalist, well-known for his discovery of the albino gorrilla who lived most of his life in the Barcelona Zoo, called Floquet de Neu, but also for his internationally renowned scientific achievements such as the discovery of tools used by chimpanzees, the culture of the Fang people, and having worked in collaboration with Dian Fossey. In this occasion, the exhibition will show Sabater Pi as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and a detailed observer of his environment, as well as his various notebooks, filled with anatomical notes, measurements, colours, portraits, tattoos and oral expressions.
