Starting last month, the creatures gathered in Taipei, [spilling onto the streets](http://english.taipei.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=72249748&ctNode=8557&mp=100002) and into city gardens. Unfortunately for anyone who might want to adopt one of the fuzzy creatures for a pet, they’re all made of papier-mâché. The pride of pandas (there’s no official word for a group of pandas because they’re usually solitary creatures) was created by the French artist Paulo Grangeon. The exhibition has been touring the world, stopping in such scenic locales as [Paris](http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01012/pandas-in-paris460%5F1012666c.jpg) and [Rome](http://static3.demotix.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/a%5Fscale%5Flarge/000-3/photos/1279046066-panda-invasion-in-rome%5F53553.jpg), but this is the first time it has been installed in Asia, where they are launching a [tour](http://www.pandasworldtour.tw/). Each papier-mâché sculpture represents a single panda that’s left in the wild. The installation’s purpose is to raise awareness about animal conservation in the panda’s home country, but the googly-eyed creatures are also a reminder of why we love pandas so much: they’re possibly the cutest animal on the planet. If only the real pandas proliferated as easily as their papier-mâché counterparts, we wouldn’t have a problem. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/18502/papier-mache-pandas-are-taking-over-the-world/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/18502/papier-mache-pandas-are-taking-over-the-world/"},"headline":"Papier-Mâché Pandas Are Taking Over the World","datePublished":"2014-03-10T18:04:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:07:39.015Z","description":"1600 miniature pandas fill Taipei with cute","url":"https://time.com/18502/papier-mache-pandas-are-taking-over-the-world/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","pandas","Taiwan"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfb7568913df7e391/698684ca55a8592a48a7fa25/unnamed.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kyle Chayka","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/kyle-chayka/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfb7568913df7e391/698684ca55a8592a48a7fa25/unnamed.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"unnamed","caption":"","creditText":"Taipei City Government","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/18502/papier-mache-pandas-are-taking-over-the-world/","name":"Papier-Mâché Pandas Are Taking Over the World"}}]}] ```
