About this audio guide
This guide to Zoo Dresden is told from inside its orangutan house, starting with something buried under the floor. It reaches back to nineteen twenty-seven and director Gustav Brandes, when Dresden's orangutans drew worldwide attention, and forward to twenty seventeen, when a campaign group turned its spotlight on the same apes for very different reasons. Best heard standing by the orangutan enclosure.
