‘Lamp Bear’ at the Doha airport

Tim had taken a picture of this same bear several years ago when it was advertising the 2022 FIFA World Cup held in Qatar.

“Lamp Bear by Swiss artist Urs Fischer takes centre stage in the middle of the terminal, surrounded by Doha’s comprehensive range of duty-free stores. It is a 23-foot canary yellow teddy bear sculpted from bronze, that sits peacefully inside a lamp. A playful piece that humanises the space around it and reminds travellers of childhood or precious objects from home - it has become a bonafide Doha landmark,” from the airport website.

Artwork for kids, too, posted earlier:

The people in the frame give me a good idea of the size of this awesome bear.
