The statue of the great wooly mammoth was built as a symbol and a way to showcase the Catalan culture to the citizens and tourists of Barcelona. Composed of large stone and built to be life-sized, the mammoth statue was introduced to the Parc de la Ciutadella on December 12, 1907 (Hochadel and Valls 2016: 35). The wooly mammoth was chosen as the symbol of the Catalan culture because a few people once found a single tusk of a wooly mammoth fossilized in the ground. This caused many to believe that the mammoths once roamed the lands of Catalonia thousands of years ago. Though the Parc was supposed to be a place that the community could all come together, the creators were scared that people would vandalize and destroy the mammoth. This led the builders to put up a fence around the wooly mammoth statue in order to prevent any vandalism from happening (Hochadel and Valls 2016: 35). The mammoth was meant to be admired and loved instead of an object for people to climb on or ignore. That fence is no longer surrounding the statue and nothing is blocking tourists and children from being around it. The public enjoys playing on and around it and many tourists climb it to take pictures. � https://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/20/549/Rhodes_Lille_Mammoth.m4a 3dc3138913cd2d5fb17da09af1464d77 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
