Fuller lives on the fringe of the Blue Mountains, in a remote location deep within the Kanimbla Valley.

The display in the two rooms which together make up the Hall of the Animals was set up under Pope Pius VI (1775-1799) with antique works of art, often much restored and sometimes completely re-worked, with the aim of creating a 'stone zoo'.

Many artists worked on the sculptures in this display during the 1700s, the most important of whom was Francesco Antonio Franzoni.
