PandaMania in D.C.

The "PandaMania" art exhibition that took place in the summer of 2004 throughout Washington, D.C., was a follow-on to the successful "Party Animals" public art exhibit of 2002. "PandaMania" was a collection of more than 150 pandas (some in standing poses and some sitting) that had been decorated, painted or customized in various whimsical ways by artists for the amusement of residents and visitors to Washington. The results were indeed entertaining, but it took quite a bit of effort to see as many of them as we could. We did have a digital camera on our safari, so we're happy to show them to you, too. Take a look:
