Ich kannte diese Dar -Seite der norwegischen Geschichte nie. Scheint, dass Norwegen früher menschliche Zoos hatte.

You mind posting some source material or a link so we can have a look and scrutinise?
Yeah, they had Africans on display, and also Sami who were Norwegian citizens.
Norway has many sad chapters in its history, some rather recently, and this is definitely one of those.
Well, that was a traveling Zoo that went all over Europe. Similiar to the Traveling Freakshows in the US. Not having internet 100 years ago meant that strange looking people (for europeans) were quite the attraction.
Kongolandsbyen to those who want to do a search
Human zoos and freak shows were touring all the western world.

A dark chapter for all nations.
Who gives an actual fuck? Yes, it was barbaric, but we can’t change our past.
Oh that’s actually pretty disgusting, never knew this
In 1914, Oslo had an exhibition called «Negerlandsbyen Kongo», translated to «The negro village of Kongo», where about 80 people from Kongo lived for half a year.
Don’t give Trump new ideas
It was part of the 100 year anniversary for the Norwegian constitution. In 2014 artists reconstructed the human zoo to mark the 100 year anniversary of the zoo, and to spark debate about racism in Norway. Not in its original form, of course.

We still do, it’s called Sarpsborg 💁🏼♀️
If I’m not mistaken, this was more of a traveling exhibition than a zoo. But, yes, a dark and weird part of our history. Google „Kongolandsbyen“.
This is almost certainly not an exhaustive list.
I’m not sure how it comes as a surprise that the world was extremely racist during the colonial period.
We still have an open zoo in Oslo.
It’s called „Grønland“.
Schools arranges safaris for children from the suburbs to see the place and experience people from all over the world and new cultures, without having to travel very far. Very environmentally friendly concept.
Oh my god! Time to throw away civilization and invite everyone who is willing to move into Norway!
