Community was created by Rebecca Louise Law by combining more than 50 of her previous installations to create what she calls "an undulating natural space suspended in time". Dozens of interns, museum staffers, and volunteers were involved in assembling the strings of dried plants and flowers suspended from the ceiling.

Not far from home is a community facility that my Beloved helped to set up 30+ years ago.
The latest activity at the centre has been to set up a Food Hub to distribute food to those most severally hit by Austerity.
The hub collects food that has reached its "Best Before" date from 6 local supermarkets (Tesco, Lidl & Co-Op) and makes it available to people who need it. If this were not done the food would be sent to Landfill.
In the last year the hub has distributed around 28 tonnes of food, thus saving over 100 tonnes of CO2 in the environment.
The centre, Canolfan Maerdy, has now engaged the services of a Nutritionist to cook with the food and create 'ready meals' for those who need them.
This service was launched a couple of days ago.

Armed forces and Croydon Council unite for covenant deal
Croydon Council is set to become the first local authority in London to launch a community covenant with the armed forces - in a move designed to give greater assistance for servicemen and women and their families.
The legal pact between the council and the military means that new support for service personnel and their families, as well as reservists, veterans, and cadet groups will be given.
It will encourage support for the armed forces in Croydon and persuade organisations and agencies to remember the sacrifices made by members - particularly those who have given the most.
It will ensure help is given with work and training, housing, school admissions, adult social services, and medical needs. It is intended to complement the national Armed Forces Covenant, which outlines the moral obligation that exists between the UK, its government and the armed forces.
A current review of the council's housing allocation policy is also likely to give greater weight to returning members of the armed forces, their families and veterans than exists at the moment.
The Croydon Armed Forces Community Covenant will be drawn-up and signed by the representatives of the army, navy and RAF at a launch event in early December.
Local health services, police, business development agencies and voluntary organisations - including armed forces charities - have said that they will also commit to the accord.
It comes after the Rifles brigade was granted the freedom of Croydon earlier this year. That followed a hugely successful homecoming parade in 2009 that saw thousands of people line the streets.
Council leader Mike Fisher said: "This strengthens the commitments we have already made to the armed forces. We want them to know how much we value the contribution they make to our society and we are proud to stand up for them and to help in any way we can."
A Croydon Armed Forces Community Covenant website will also be launched to provide details of the covenant and information on a range of issues for current and former forces personnel and their families
It will enable residents, community groups, and local businesses to pledge their support and commitment to the covenant and the armed forces in general.
A series of awareness days will be organised to run in conjunction with Armed Forces Day, community festivals and other events will also be run.
Colonel Ian McRobbie, the Queen's representative in Croydon, said: "Croydon's role in military history can be traced right back to 1799. In modern times the military has continued to maintain a presence in Croydon, always enjoying very positive support and encouragement from all sections of the community, thus continuing a long history of excellent relations with military units in the borough.
"The Armed Forces Covenant will further enhance links between the military and civil communities, and I am delighted to have played a part in setting it up."

This looks to have been an old school or maybe a church. It looks like it is now a community center. It is surrounded by Hartleton's community park, a cemetery and cornfields. Hartleton is on Pennsylvania Route 45 in western Union County.

This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, 5KM fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 29th December 2018 at 13:00. This race has grown year on year since its first running a few years ago. This year seen one of the largest overall entries in the races.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157703633931361
Timing and Event management was provided by Irish company PopupRaces - check their website at www.popuparces.ie
The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2.5 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. This forested hill or mountain was once a famous centre of pre-Christian religious worship and is believed to have been the home of a pre–christian diety named Midir (the God of the Underworld), and also a Prince of the "Tuatha De Dannan", the fairy people of Ireland. The hill or mountain itself is named after BrÃ, the daughter of Midhir and her doomed love, Leith who are reputed to be buried on the hill. The remainder of the race is challenging but fair, with some much smaller and less steep hills in the race profile. Miles 3 - 7 benefit from some downhill as the race route travels around the base of the hills. The roads are predominantly rural roads with little traffic. The 10 mile race finishes in the same finish as the 5KM race. Water stops and adequate stewarding at junctions is provided.
The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. This allows runners, walkers and joggers of all ability to take part over a more manageable distance. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.
The weather at this year's race was almost perfect for running. The rain managed to stay away and there was little or no breeze. Indeed conditions could be described as mild with temperatures of 11C. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 and 2017 event seen very suitable weather for road racing in late December.
Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town.
