The United Buddy Bears in Paris
26th Exhibition
To mark two occasions – 25 years of town twinning between Paris and Berlin and the “50th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty“ – the United Buddy Bears visited the Champ de Mars for 5½ weeks from12th October til 18th November 2012. The exhibition in Paris underlined the good relationship between France and Germany and between the two cities Paris and Berlin.
The unique United Buddy Bears project features 140 bear sculptures representing as many countries recognised by the United Nations. Standing together hand in hand, the 2m tall bears promote tolerance and living together in peace.
