May 2025 | Entrance of the Castle Building at the Racine Zoo | Racine, Wisconsin.
“Vanishing Kingdom” is a bold, colorful mural at the Racine Zoo by artist Terrible Tews | Hannah Tews. Inspired by a childhood spent around animals—both of her parents were zookeepers—the piece features playful portraits of the building’s real-life residents. With bright colors and friendly faces, this mural transforms the entrance into a happy, welcoming space for visitors and staff, while reminding us to protect the animals we share the world with.
