A WILD RACE AGAINST TIME

Get ready for a wildy interactive adventure at CityCenterDC!

This summer, CityCenterDC welcomes A Wild Race Against Time, a monumental public art exhibition by world-renowned artists Gillie and Marc. Featuring large-scale bronze sculptures of endangered animals, the installation invites visitors to experience wildlife up close while raising awareness for global conservation efforts. Through their charity, Love the Last Wildlife, the artists aim to inspire action and support for protecting endangered species before it’s too late.

To make your summer visit even sweeter, we have limited-edition coloring books based on the art to give away. Come explore the exhibition today, snap your own fun family photos, and grab a coloring book for the little ones while supplies last.

Event Details

AN EXHIBITION YOU CAN STEP INTO! This is not a traditional sculpture exhibition. It is an interactive world unlike anything seen before.

Visitors will be able to:
Sit inside a convertible next to a giant panda
Ride alongside a Bengal tiger and Sumatran elephant
Pose with a giraffe and lion racing on a scooter
Stand beside a polar bear skiing at speed
Join a Galápagos tortoise on roller skates
Take photos with a chimpanzee and koala on a Vespa
Walk among a gorilla, rhino, orangutan, zebra, whale, and more

Each sculpture is designed not just to be seen — but to be experienced.
You can climb on them. Sit in them. Ride with them.
