A stunning, ginormous nature-inspired exhibit is making its East Coast debut at one of our favorite zoos.
Thomas Dambo, a renowned recycle artist and activist from Copenhagen, created TROLLS: Save the Humans, is on display at the Philadelphia Zoo. The six folklore-inspired Trolls are made from repurposed wood and stand up to 15 feet tall. They ask people to reduce trash, reuse everything and recycle when they can.
You’re encouraged to bring your old Zoo Keys – or purchase one at any of the zoo’s retail locations – so you can hear stories from the Trolls themselves. Ronja Redeye is the Trolls’ leader, and her mission is to encourage you to rethink ways to minimize trash.
Rosa Sunfinger has a green thumb. She wants you to find ways to renew the habitats around you and plant native plants to create habitats for pollinators.
Sofus Lotus loves to listen. He likes to get down on the ground to hear the sounds of all wild things.
Ibbi Pip is in charge of finding new uses for old things. Her passion is reusing old wood to create birdhouses, providing a home for these animals to feel safe and raise their chicks.
Kamma Can is a pro at recycling. She created her beautiful jewelry from plastic that would otherwise pollute wild places.
Basse Buller refuses to give up on protecting the planet.
TROLLS: Save the Humans, produced by Imagine Exhibitions, will be on view through April 15 at the Philadelphia Zoo, 3400 W. Girard Ave., Philadelphia, PA. The exhibition is included with admission to the zoo. Regular zoo admission ranges from $19 -$25 for adults and children and is free for members.
