Entrance Gates to the old Brussels Zoo; 14th May 2010
16-05-2010
The Brussels Zoo was a short-lived establishment; according to a sign in the Zoology Museum in Brussels, the zoo opened in 1852 and closed in 1880.
Nevertheless, 130 years after the zoo closed, the entrance gates still exist, complete with the inscription “Jardin Royal de Zoologie”. Advertisement

Quite attractive in its own way.Evocative.

Seemed to be important and well known enough to get the title or 'royal'

Are there any other physical remnants of the zoo besides the gate?

I think that the park lake was a feature of the old zoo but none of the original zoo buildings remain. The excellent Brussels Natural History Museum is nearby. |
