A brief description from the exhibition website:
1600 PANDAS+ is a collaboration which began in 2008 between WWF-France and artist Paulo Grangeon, who handcrafted 1600 pandas — the number of existing pandas left in the wild — with recycled materials to make papier-mâché sculptures. The title "1600 PANDAS+" refers not only to the increase in the population of wild giant pandas to over 1,800 in the past decade, but also to increased public awareness of wildlife conservation. After ruling nearly 100 exhibitions around the world, the pandas will land in Korea for the first time to promote the city’s creative industry by fostering a sustainable environment where humans and nature can successfully coexist.
We cooled down in the gift shop, then tried elbowing our way through rows of people taking selfies to see the pandas (and take our own selfies) once more.
