In summer 2021 we launched Treasures of the Museum, an exciting trail highlighting sixteen of the museum’s most iconic objects. After taking part in the trail or exploring the objects online, we asked you to vote for your favourite. The winner was Gerald, our iconic Masai, or Kilimanjaro, Giraffe. Standing at 17 feet tall, Gerald has won the hearts of children and adults alike ever since he first took up residency at RAMM over 100 years ago.
