[Remnants of Human Zoos]

 The concept of human zoos never completely disappeared. The Congolese Village exhibit was also shown at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. [19]

 In April 1994, an Ivory Coast village was created at the African Safari Park in Port-Saint-Père, near Nantes. [20]

 In July 2005, an African village was created at the Augsburg Zoo in Germany. [21] In August 2005, London Zoo exhibited humans wearing fig leaves, but on a voluntary basis. In 2007, Adelaide Zoo in Australia created a human zoo exhibit consisting of people who applied to be housed in ape stables during the day as part of an educational initiative. Residents participated in several exercises and asked visitors to donate to a new ape facility. Melbourne Zoo does not have any human exhibits, but it does have "ethnic" structures from Polynesia, Indonesia, Thailand, and other regions, further evidence of the overlap between natural history and ethnology. In 2007, Pygmy performers at the Pan-African Music Festival in Brazzaville, Congo, were provided accommodation in the zoo, causing controversy.[22]
