Lion Biennale: Fifty lions showcase Eastern and Western artistic creativity
In Europe, the lion is seen as a symbol of strength, while in Chinese culture, it represents prosperity and protection. Lyon, France — which uses the lion as its city emblem — held the “Dream of the Lion” art event in 2004, which evolved into the “Lion Biennale.” It has since been exhibited in Turin, Italy (2006), Quebec, Canada (2008), and Algiers, Algeria (2012). This year, the “Lion Biennale” comes to Asia for the first time, inviting fifty sculptors, painters, textile designers, and fashion designers from Macau, China, France, and other regions to create fifty lion sculptures that blend art and creativity, all inspired by the lion symbol of Lyon.

The “Lion Biennale” is on display from now until October at various venues including the Macao Museum of Art, MGM Macau, Mandarin Oriental Macau, One Central, and the Macao Tower, allowing the public to appreciate different artistic interpretations of the same subject. The MGM Macau, whose emblem is the lion, also presents a special exhibition titled “Echoes of the Lion’s Roar” in its art space, offering visitors a chance to explore the artistic beauty of the Lion Biennale from different perspectives through stunning images and multimedia installations.
