A large number of artefacts, posters, signs and memorabilia that was held back by Bristol Zoo from a series of auctions this month will be displayed in a permanent exhibition at the zoo in the future.
Zoo bosses have attempted to allay fears that the three auctions last week have stripped the zoo of its history - and said many of the items auctioned had duplicates that have not been sold and will be exhibited at the ‘Conservation Hub’, which will maintain a Zoo presence at the Clifton Gardens site after the site is redeveloped.
The three auctions began with a gala dinner in mid-November, followed by a sale of 300 lots of zoo memorabilia, signs, posters, statues and a huge range of other items, and ended on Monday this week with an auction of 40 mid-Victorian park benches, that were specially made for the zoo in the 1860s.
