Tim Murton's Twilight Zoo - Elora
Share
Come visit our beautiful village this fall and be amazed by the wonderful creatures that make up The
TIM MURTON"S TWILIGHT ZOO - HAUNTING ELORA, ONTARIO SINCE 1996
These amazing monsters are why fine artist Tim Murton has been dubbed “the Monster Guy". Tim started the Twilight Zoo in 1996 as Halloween decorations for the kids. Featured on Martha Stewarts Halloween Special in 2011, these wire and paper sculptures have become a regular part of the Elora landscape every fall. Tim adds to the Zoo collection every year and as the menagerie grows so does the number of people visiting to see them. With many many thanks going out to the fine folks who help to repaper and gauze the creations each year!
