Antwerp zoo was established in 1843 under the management of the Zoological Society of Antwerp. As one of the oldest zoos in Belgium and Europe, the establishment, operation and development of Antwerp Zoo are closely related to Belgian society in the 19th century. At the same time, it also reflects the self-awareness of the newly independent Belgians in the face of industrial civilization and exotic nature. This article discusses how the Antwerp Zoo as a public place embodies 19th century Belgian colonial and imperial ideas from perspectives of function, architecture, visitors and animals and the cultural meaning of modern zoos in European continent. Modern European zoos represented by Antwerp zoo are social and educational places dominated by the middle class in the 19th century, and also reflect people’s thought about the relationship between human and nature.

This database is limited because it only comprises the data based on the program booklets (Engelen & Vande Winkel, 2016); it excludes, e.g., the programs for 1925-1930, which are retrieved from newspapers instead of program booklets. The search possibilities for this reduced dataset are limited, and the dataset is not available for downloading through this site.…”

“…The venue was built as a concert hall in 1897 and was home to the Symphonic Orchestra of the Zoological Society. In 1915 it was transformed into a movie theatre: the podium was altered, a screen was installed in front of the large organ, and a projection booth was built on the rear balcony (Engelen & Vande Winkel, 2016). The venue seated 2100 to 2400 people.…”
