Decreased enthusiasm surrounding polar bear Knut remains minimal
The Berlin Natural History Museum continues to be a popular destination, with one of its most famous residents being Knut, a polar bear cub born in 2006. Knut became an "icon of cuteness" during his life, attracting millions of visitors to the museum.
Knut was rejected by his mother at birth and was raised by a zookeeper on a bottle. He gained worldwide fame for his playful antics and his fondness for croissants, which were often offered by museum visitors. However, this practice has since ceased.
The museum's director, Johannes Vogel, shared information about Knut's life and death with RBB InfoRadio. He stated that the hype surrounding Knut has subsided over the years, but Knut remains a popular attraction at the museum. Vogel also mentioned that no one got as close to Knut during his lifetime as they do now, in his glass case at the museum.
After his death in 2011 from a brain inflammation, Knut was put on display at the Natural History Museum. His passing touched many people, as evidenced by the large number of visitors who watched him grow up at the museum. Over 11 million visitors saw Knut during his lifetime at the Berlin Natural History Museum.
Despite no longer being alive, Knut's legacy continues. He is still a crowd-puller for the museum, reminding visitors of the polar bear who captured hearts around the world. The Berlin Natural History Museum is a testament to Knut's life and impact, offering a glimpse into the life of this beloved polar bear cub.
