More about the Labubu exhibition
The exhibition opened on March 4, 2026. It runs through March 29 in Paris. Organisers host the experience inside the historic Hôtel du Grand Veneur. Notably, this stop becomes the only European destination on the global tour.
Kasing Lung launched the Labubu character universe in 2015. The mischievous creature first appeared in his picture book trilogy ‘The Monsters’. Since then, the world has embraced Labubu as a cultural icon. Collectors now chase vinyl figures, plush charms, and rare art editions.
Now, the Paris exhibition celebrates ten years of creativity. Organisers titled the show ‘Monsters by Monsters: Now and Then’. Moreover, the immersive installation explores Lung’s artistic journey. Visitors discover how the imaginative monster universe evolved over time.
The exhibition features six themed zones for visitors. Each section highlights a different chapter of the franchise. For example, the Oil Painting and Sculpture Zone showcases Lung’s artwork. Meanwhile, another area presents original manuscripts and early sketches. These pieces reveal the artist’s creative process.
In addition, fans can explore extensive Labubu figure collections. Rare designer collectibles appear alongside limited-edition releases. Therefore, the display attracts both art lovers and toy collectors. Some zones even invite visitors to interact with the characters.
Importantly, the exhibition also traces Labubu’s global rise. Previous stops included Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong. However, Paris delivers the most anticipated European chapter. Consequently, the show bridges contemporary art, storytelling, and collectible culture.
Today, Labubu stands among the most recognisable designer toy icons. Fans admire the character’s playful grin and pointed ears. Yet the brand represents more than cute figures. Instead, it reflects Lung’s storytelling universe and artistic vision.
Ultimately, the Paris exhibition honours a decade of imagination. It also hints at Labubu’s future global expansion. Therefore, collectors and fans now celebrate a monster milestone.
