Exhibition
Tanja, het beroemdste nijlpaard van Amsterdam, is dit najaar te zien in ARTIS-Groote Museum als onderdeel van een tentoonstelling over de relatie tussen mens en dier.
Tanja
De tentoonstelling onderzoekt de relatie tussen mens en dier. De liefde en verbondenheid die bezoekers voor Tanja voel(d)en, weerspiegelt hoe diep onze relatie met dieren is. Het is deze connectie die Tanja tot een levend symbool maakt van de veranderende manier waarop we naar natuur kijken.
Toen en nu
Hoe kwamen dieren vroeger naar ARTIS? Hoe werden ze verzorgd en wat is daarin veranderd? Waarom was Tanja het laatste nijlpaard van ARTIS? En waarom werd juist zij opgezet na haar dood? Door het verhaal van Tanja en haar voorgangers wordt de geschiedenis van ARTIS tastbaar en de grote ontwikkelingen die daarin plaatsvonden. Van de tijd waarin een nijlpaard zien een zeldzaamheid was tot een wereld vol natuurdocumentaires.
