The Zoo

I love the Zoo here in Copenhagen. I used to take my daughter there all the time when she was younger, because we lived really close by it was like going to the park. I havn't been there for a few years now so I'm looking forward to going back soon, hopefully the weather will start acting it's age.. err.. season. It's Summer! Come on sunshine!!
Here's a few of the posters they've had over the 150 years the "Zoologisk Have" has existed...
Back in the late 1800's the Zoo actually exhibited people from India and Africa amongst other places. They built camps showing "the wild natural invironments" where the people lived in tents or palmleaf huts showing the curious Scandinavians how they used their exotic tools, worked, cooked and ..well, lived... How weird is that! Not to mention politically incorrect...
