With the discovery of the monster, the grumpiness soon disappeared. Georgina was happy! Each monster that was found, would make the world a little bit less grumpy.
Below you can find some historical facts about this wondrous creature:
“Mural painted in Vienna, Austria, curated by Inoperable with support from Liquitex and Red Bull Austria from 2015.
In the late 1940’s, Hitler ordered a series of flak towers to be constructed in Germany and Austria to defend against air attacks and serve as shelters. With walls up to 3.5m thick, the structures were made so indestructible they still remain today. Many see these towers as an eyesore, but others see them as reminders of a dark past never to be repeated.
Many of the towers still remain empty, however a few have been redesigned to give them a new life. In 1957, the flak tower located only a few blocks from the mural was repurposed to be an aquarium. The former bunker is now a place dedicated to preserving a diversity of (animal) life and the imparting of knowledge. The mural tells the story of how the neighborhood of Mariahilf not only rose from all the challenges history subjected it to but also how it turned the horrors of its past into a bright, positive and multifaceted future. ”
