Continuing the original 1,600 pandas tour through Italy, Switzerland and many other countries with its unceasing popularity, the pandas will make its 9th debut in South Korea this summer. The panda project started in 2008 by a French artist, who created the 1,600 papier-mâché panda bears made to represent the 1,600 real pandas left in the world today. They have been travelling all over the world and displayed in open public spaces.
The exhibition was designed by Lotte Department Store and Lotte World Mall in an effort to raise awareness of the challenges faced by the wild giant pandas. The new tour with 1,800 Pandas+ will be showcased as a symbolic reminder of the importance of protecting the endangered wild species, referring to the nearly 200 increase in the population of wild giant pandas since its beginning of 1,600+.
The main exhibition of 1,800 paper panda will make a scene on the lawn and garden area near Seokchon lake in Songpa-gu, Seoul Jamsil Lotte World Mall Jamsil area in Seoul from July 04 to July 31. Also, they are getting back on their flashmob tour whereby they may vanish without a trace.
Starting its journey on May 23, the papier-mâché panda sculptures will be on a display at outdoor spaces of national landmarks throughout the country including Sejong Center, Seoul City Hall and Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). Travelling across seven cities in the nation, the pandas will make their surprise visit until 5:00 in the afternoon.
