Maharajah

Maharajah是一头亚洲大象,它有着迷人的故事。它带给艺术家和小说家启迪和灵感。

 1872年,位于英格兰曼彻斯特的贝尔维尤动物园(Belle Vue Zoological Gardens)的所有者从爱丁堡的一个旅行马戏团手中买下了Maharajah。但是Maharajah无法被说服乘火车前往曼彻斯特,所以饲养员洛伦佐·劳伦斯(Lorenzo Lawrence)和Maharajah一起从爱丁堡走了200多英里到曼彻斯特,花了10天完成了旅程。Maharajah从印度,到爱丁堡,到贝尔维尤动物园,再到曼彻斯特博物馆 — Maharajah 旅程中最近的一站是2019年的皮卡迪利(Piccadilly)火车站。

 曼彻斯特博物馆在与社区合作方面有着悠久的历史, 最近,学校里有一组沙布蒂斯(Shabtis,摆放在古埃及的坟墓中的雕塑),餐馆里有一只孔雀……还有皮卡迪利火车站的Piccadilly railway这头大象!
