Tervuren’s African elephant back in full glory
The sculpture, made of reinforced concrete, was created by Albéric Collin (1886-1962) for the 1935 World Expo in Brussels. The elephant found its final home in 1938 on the iron sandstone pedestal. After the restoration, the statue has been returned to its original light gray color, instead of the cream white it had faded to.
Own plants first in Tervuren
