Baby Gorillas on bus. Shona Richards

The Baby Gorillas will all be going back to school now that the holidays have finished! 

On September 6th they will be picked up from their summer homes and taken to Castle Mall ready for the schools to collect them on 9thSeptember 2013.

All the baby gorillas will be in Castle Mall for the weekend of the 7th September so it is a last chance to see them all before they return to their permanent homes.

The 67 baby gorillas have been on show for the public to enjoy over summer and have provided an extra dimension to the Go Go Gorillas Project which has held the public’s imagination for the summer months.  The baby gorillas were painted, collaged and accessorized by Norfolk’s incredibly creative young people and now it is time for them to go back to school!

Presented by leading arts and education company Wild in Art in partnership with BREAK, the sculptures have been on display at city center venues for the whole summer and have proved a hit with the public

Sally-Ann Wilkinson, Director, Wild in Art said,

‘Norwich has really taken to these sculptures and the public have loved going round the trails finding all of them across the city centre.’

Jacqui from The Jade Tree said,

‘We have really loved having our little guest, and will be sorry to see him go! So many people have come to visit and it has been so nice to have so many people coming in to tick him off their list.’
