Majestic and strong – gentle and intelligent? Elephants have always been fascinating wild animals. Majestic and strong – gentle and intelligent? Elephants have always been fascinating wild animals. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through 60 million years of evolution: lifelike models show the development from prehistoric proboscids to mammoths and today's elephants.
The agency *eli – eine lose idee-GmbH* and the Natural History Museum in the Ottoneum Kassel are staging life-size elephants at Mergentheim Residential Palace, highlighting their biology and closeness to humans. The cultural history of the pachyderm is also presented – as a deity in India, a weapon of war, or a work animal in the jungle. The hunt for ivory, the loss of habitat, and species conservation are also perspectives of the presentation.
An interactive station invites visitors to trek across the snow-covered Alps with Hannibal's elephants. In the poet's room, guests can learn about Goethe's elephant. And the highlight is the impressive giant woolly mammoth with its calf. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of these gray giants!
