Does this still exist? The most recent piece of information I can find is the newspaper article from 1989. DogsRNice (talk) 18:08, 30 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

The article used https://web.archive.org/web/20220421020222/https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-apr-27-1963-3173850/ as reference one for this describes the exhibit being in the ape house. Might it be useful to describe somewhere in the article that the monkey/ape house also used to show humans as an exhibit ~50 years ago, specifically Ota Benga?
