Exhibits once framed fear and spectacle. Modern design frames empathy and ecology.
Lessons Learned
- Bold labels, simple cages—fast, but shallow.
- Today: Complex habitats invite real behavior and understanding.
Interpretive Shift
| Focus | 1963 | Today |
|---|---|---|
| Messaging | Fear/spectacle | Ecology/empathy |
| Design | Bars/cages | Immersive habitats |
| Visitor Role | Audience | Observer–participant |
Tip: Seek exhibits where animals choose where to be—that choice is design.
Bottom Line
Design evolves—toward animals, and toward better visitor experiences.
