Vanishing bars. On the threshold of the third century of zoological gardens

Dariusz Jedzok Logo ORCID

Abstract

In the past three hundred years zoological gardens have undergone a series of profound conceptual and organisational changes. This article provides a brief historical outlook on the evolution of zoos from royal menageries to modern facilities, focusing on its most striking aspect – the gradual transformation from bare exhibitions of animal species into representations of whole habitats. The author presents a few main historical factors leading to that change and outlines possible paths of future development.
