The historic Liberty Shrine also known as Mactan Shrine has become an even more captivating destination, now featuring a stunning open-air exhibit of giant animal sculptures by world-renowned driftwood artist James Doran-Webb.
The free public exhibit showcases breathtakingly realistic wildlife figures crafted from driftwood, appearing so lifelike they could be mistaken for live animals at first glance. The installation offers a unique blend of art, culture and history at one of Cebu’s most significant landmarks.
Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Cindi King Chan expressed profound gratitude to the artist, stating, “A million thanks to James Doran-Webb for generously lending his masterpieces for our free exhibit. Your talent elevates not just our space but our people’s appreciation for art, culture and history.”
