Hamerton Zoo Park

A small exhibition of zoo models is planned to run for 2022. It will be in our coffee-shop and will feature part of our collection of model zoo enclosures and toy animals from various countries. The first display will be from New Zealand, featuring some charming 'scratch-built' models based on Auckland Zoo's old exhibits. This is planned to be temporary and will be replaced by others from the UK, Denmark, Germany, Austria, France and the former Czechoslovakia and DDR in rotation. Full details will be posted on social media as the exhibitions evolve. This will form a very modest 'taster' for the full museum we have planned - see left; which is a much larger project and will feature all of the collections, and more...
