Let fair here. Ireland didn’t have the money or infrastructure to have a human zoo until at least the 1940s, and by then, it wast in fashion anymore.

There was at least “human zoo”, the “somali village” at the Irish international exhibition in 1907, it was a popular enough attraction that it became the nickname for a group of houses built around that time in Howth:

What? We have one now: The Ploughing Championships.
It’s literally a colonies vs colonisers map lol
The north a dodgy crowd alright
Did Ireland ever *have* a human zoo..?
No… Ireland *was* a human zoo
.
Our entire island was used as a zoo by the british
I was thinking colonisers yes colonisers no by turkey and Russia let me down
[We absolutely did at Herbert park](https://www.reddit.com/r/IrishHistory/s/TQMcnfnWfk)
I’m also skeptical. Austro-Hungarian covered a larger area and it should include the countries in its former territory.
Woooh for technicalitying our way out of being guilty by association
What’s a circus if not a human zoo?
Turkey not having human zoos is relatively funny given the whole slavery thing. Is it a zoo if you can buy the animal after viewing?
Well not yet, we still could do it
What a hell is “ Human zoo”?
We were in the zoos.
We didn’t have a human zoo but we did have a Humanzi. Good band.

If your country didn’t have a zoo, it was the zoo.
All that red part of the map was the gulags so erm big time human zoo right there.
Luxembourg for the win!
What the fuck is a human zoo?
The crossover nobody saw coming, but somehow it makes perfect sense.
We still have them, we just call them pubs.
Typical government. Always billy last to the party
As usual these maps are incorrect. The Russian empire did have human zoos and „ethnic“ exhibitions.
Is declaring independence not a get out of all previous liability free card?
This map seems to really be leaning in to technicalities to map the innocents for sure.
I am not sure this is true I think herbert park dublin had a human zoo. Near where the bandstand used in thin Lizzy old town was filmed
