Curator’s Tour: Proboscidea Rappings

HUMBER STREET GALLERY, 64 Humber Street, HU1 1TU

21 Dec 2019

Family Friendly

Join Senior Curator John Heffernan for a guided tour and introduction to Ollie Dook’s new exhibition Proboscidea Rappings.

Jumbo the Elephant was one of the first modern day animal celebrities. Born in 1861 Jumbo tragically died in 1885 after a fatal collision with a train. The impact of his brief time on this planet was felt on a global scale.

Artist Ollie Dook examines the story of an archived photograph which depicts an imitation ‘Jumbo’ crossing Hull’s Monument Bridge in the 19th Century as part of Barnum’s circus parade.
