An excerpt from the text: "The “prehistoric park,” a place that combines scientific education with the excitement of the prehistoric world by showing its wildlife in sculpted form, goes back to at least 1854. In that year, next to the rebuilt Crystal Palace in the London suburb of Sydenham, a landscape containing over 30 statues of extinct animals was opened to an astonished public. Since then, such parks have never gone away, both in real, physical form and in popular culture. What provoked the builders of the Berlin Aquarium to construct their “park” can be traced back to an event 6 years before the opening of their building."
