Buddy Bears: Singapore

While strolling thru the Gardens By the Bay this week, we discovered the traveling Buddy Bears exhibit (from Berlin), a longstanding delegation of artistic life-sized representatives of world culture for most of the world’s participating countries–145 of them by current count.

These are beautifully painted with selected cultural and national motifs chosen by an artist from each country, embodying rich and uplifting contributions and positive messages from around the world.

Since this was such an inviting, public, and open experience, I couldn’t resist compiling a live, in-place rendition:
