Just "Lion" Around
Lions, lions, and more lions! Oh my! The stately lion has taken over the streets of Jerusalem. Eighty full-size sculptures of lions- the symbol of Jerusalem- are brightening the city's streets this summer, creating a citywide art exhibit. The Lions in Jerusalem project has boosted the city's tourism, while reducing the tension felt on the streets of the Israeli capital during this difficult time. The imaginative sculptures include everything from a mosaic lion, to a lion decorated with camel paintings, to one adorned with golden wings. A variety of Israeli artists created the sculptures, which will be on display throughout Jerusalem until mid-September. After that, the statues will be sold at a public auction, and proceeds will be distributed to a number of local charities.
