An exhibition on big game hunting (rhino, hippopotamus, elephant, buffalo, many species of horned and antlered animals, lion, tiger, leopard, bear, wolf, etc.) in the wildernesses of the five continents.

Primarily dealing with the most sensational period of sporting and commercial hunting from about 1840 to 1940, coinciding with the voyages of discovery to previously unknown territories and their colonization and exploitation.

The English designation of the international phenomenon was chosen, because in the said period the stimulus came mainly from this country. The name of the exhibition space is a nice coincidence.
