Shangri-La Tulips, Public sculpture at Place François-Mitterrand, Lille, France
The seven-meter-high concrete sculpture displays a group of large tulips painted in red with white polka dots near Lille Europe station.
The art installation was commissioned for Lille's designation as European Capital of Culture in 2004, marking a transformation in the city's landscape.
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created this concrete flower arrangement as part of her signature style featuring repetitive patterns and bright colors.
The sculpture stands in an open square accessible from Lille Europe station, offering multiple angles for viewing and photography throughout the day.
In 2019, firefighters had to cut a piece of one tulip after a child's leg became stuck inside the concrete structure.
