Animals, families, and creatures of legend spring to life in these monumental hand-carved sculptures from Zimbabwe. Carved from opal stone, cobalt, and springstone, the statues depict their African creators’ traditional close bond to nature and the environment. Children will love the new animals and creatures—and the stories they tell.

• 23 monumental sculptures of animals, legendary creatures, and humans—all new work
• One special statue on display the tropical rain forest inside the Climatron® conservatory
• Small original sculptures available for purchase at the Chapungu Gallery and Gift Shop

Chapungu artists made their U.S. debut at the Missouri Botanical Garden in 2001, and we are pleased to welcome this new exhibit in 2007.
