As part of Marseille’s celebration of its position as 2013 European Capital of Culture, it has placed some bright and magical creatures around the city. They are part of the Funny Zoo project. Some are beautifully decorated wild animals, others are strange hybrids.

This is a real fun post for ABCWednesday. It would be nice if this was a permanent exhibition.

When I read your itinerary I was quite jealous. I was in Marseille a little early as several things, such ad MUCEM, weren’t open yet. You’ll be in the area for the height of celebrations. I am very tempted to go back early Sept time. Enjoy your trip

Ahaha it’s much easier for me to plan such an itinerary when I’m from there… and haven’t seen friends and family for 2 years; happy to be in Marseille at the height of the celebrations… if you come back early Sept., we could actually meet up and have a drink somewhere to enjoy them together!

That is very tempting. I will let you know if I manage to arrange it!

Ahhh … we have animals panted by artist as these were. There is nothing as wonderful as seeing the real animals. Very nice post for the challenge that Frizz has given.

You can probably tell I fell in love with it this visit. I’ve always enjoyed its “realness” and spirit but this time I found its beauty too.

They’re fabulous! Will they stay beyond the Cultural Capital year, do you think?

I’m not sure. One report said till end 2014.

Probably long enough – though perhaps they’ll choose one to stay forever. 🙂

Hopefully. I wonder if they might auction them off, as they do with Cow Parade and the elephant parade we had in London. If one stays I think my vote would be for the black and gold giraffe.

That’d be a great idea – they did it for lots of Olympic things in Sydney, I remember. The black and gold giraffe would get my vote too!
