Nantes, France is hosting an exhibition of mechanical sculptures by François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice (official site en français). Each sculpture is also a moving vehicle! Besides this 11-meter tall elephant, see the giant squid, deep-sea fish, and more. Link

    What's the relationship between this and the Royal De Luxe production from several years back?

    anon, the article at Dark Roasted Blend says that some of the same artists are involved, but it doesn't specify who. It's probably clear in the French site...
