This is the mosaic “The History of the Evolution of Proboscideans”, which was on display in the pachyderm house for over 30 years. The gigantic mosaic is 4.42 m high and 17.53 m wide. The Berlin artist Ortraud Lerch (1939-2013) created it; the picture cost around 524,000 GDR marks at the time. The mural is one of the last works of art created in the GDR and is still one of the largest surviving mosaic paintings in the capital. Further details at: komoot.de/highlight/5924073
