The Glass Zoo

A lovely zoo full of animals, fish, birds, butterflies and bugs is located in the metro station in Taksim.  Many children participated with glass artists at The Glass Furnace, to make this mural.
 The mural is composed of smaller panels of fused glass.  My guess is that each child participant worked on one panel, which measures about 8 inches by 12 inches.
 There are quite a few colorful birds in this zoo, ...
 just one penguin, ...
 a child enjoying the zoo, ...
 a ferocious lion, ...
 a beautiful butterfly, ...
 ostrich and duck friends, ...
 a giraffe, ...
 and a non-talking parrot.
The children made such a striking zoo and it is quite an attention getter for the many metro travelers passing by.
