Two bronze lion statues by Sculptor Edward Kemeys (1843-1907) guard the main entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago. This photograph shows "On The Prowl" which stands on the north side of the front stairway.
My father was a commercial artist, and I visited here frequently with my parents while growing up in Chicago in the 1950s and early 1960s. It was a real thrill when dad would lift me up so I could sit on Prowl's back. Doing that nowadays could get you arrested!
Completed in 1893, the Art Institute of Chicago is an internationally renowned institution, comprising a premiere collection of art objects from around the globe, a top-ranked art school and library, and a diverse array of temporary exhibitions and public programs.
The Beaux-Arts style building was designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge of Boston for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. It's original use was as the World's Congress Auxiliary Building, with the intent the Art Institute occupy the building after the world's fair closed.
The Art Institute of Chicago is the second largest art museum in the United States, after the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Built 1881. Coromandel Valley, South Australia
Coromandel Valley, and its neighboring suburb, Coromandel East, gain their name from a ship, the Coromandel, which arrived in Holdfast Bay from London in 1837 with 156 English settlers. The ship was in turn named after the Coromandel Coast in India. After the ship reached the shore, on 17 January 1837 some of its sailors deserted, intending to remain behind in South Australia, and took refuge in the hills in the Coromandel Valley region. Appearing after the ship had sailed, they were never prosecuted, owing to the lack of a suitable official.
"Crowned in the Northern Lights, shimmering tall in celestial heights.
A whisper of magic, fierce and free, guiding the lost across frigid seas..."
First public teaser of the Durmstrang Institute build for my Deathly Hallows RP sim.
It took a lot of time and work. But we are starting to finally get closer to a release date of the RP sim we've been working on for months.

Hidden in the Mechelen region is the Ursuline Institute, a hidden gem of Art Nouveau. The winter garden of the former pensionnat de demoiselles in Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver was in 1900 unique in its Catholic context.

Francie had a lovely time visiting the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA. She bought a Renoir book while at the museum shop.
My favorite pieces in the Clark's collection are the Impressionistic work from Pissarro, Renior, Degas, and Monet. They also had some cool prints from Toulouse-Lautrec as part of their seasonal collection. The museum is set in a quaint college town in the Berkshires in Massachusetts by the Vermont/NY border. We spent about 2 hours looking at everything. A wonderful museum and area to visit.
You have to show your vaccine card, make an appointment in advance, and wear a mask. This is the only place besides work that I've had to show my vaccine card. It is free for all ages during the month of January.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Beach Hebrew Institute (also known as Beth Jacob Congregation or in Hebrew as Beit Knesset Beit Ya'akov) is a synagogue in The Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1919 as an Orthodox Jewish congregation, the members purchased their current building—a former church—in 1920, and renovated it in 1926.
Following World War II the congregation declined. The members considered selling the building in the 1970s, but a campaign to save it led to its receiving much needed repairs, and the 1982 designation of the building as a site of historical importance by the City of Toronto. An influx of younger, more liberal families, led to the congregation becoming an unaffiliated egalitarian Conservative synagogue.

Riding through the gorgeous French countryside this summer, this photo was captured of hundreds of hay bales dotted throughout the miles of fields. With the addition of that bright blue sky, the sprinkling of clouds and the woodlands, this photo is total French perfection.

Each and every room, stairwell and corridor in the Art Institute, Chicago suggest delicious ways to create images. This location was near the cafeteria.
What a delightfully creative cauldron for the students who attend the School of the Art Institute, one of the top art and design schools in the USA offering undergraduate and graduate degrees.

R&D Center A&B - the LEGO inspired box art parody (not a real set. sorry folks)
"The word of the Muad'Dib will penetrate deep within their hearts... one way or another..."
Built for the Burgomeister "R&D Lab" category of DA4, supporting General Farok. The embedded image in the comments meets the A&B criteria of designing LEGO inspired box art.
The research and development lab staff include:
- Master Administrator (main floor); oversees the overall running of the research institute, as well as the data analytics.
- Master of Chemistry (top floor); leads research in spice production, refinement, and weaponized usages. Controls the refining column that rises through the building.
- Master of Resources (in vehicle); procures all resources needed by the lab. Also the primary driver of the desert track ATV stored in the bottom level. The grand staircase in front of the building lifts up for the vehicle to pass through.
- Master of Arms (bottom level); tests all weapons for combat worthiness.
- Master of Communications (bottom level with headset); researches sonic weapons, specifically attuned to the "weirding way".

The Ayalon Institute was a secret ammunition factory disguised as part of a kibbutz to fool the British back in the 1940s. Jewish people used the factory in their efforts to fight for the independent state of Israel. Organizers went to extreme measures to build and sustain this secret factory within the kibbutz. Between 1945 and 1948, the Ayalon Institute produced more than 2 million 9mm bullets.
During the British mandate, the Jewish people began planning ways to make machinery and guns to fight for independence. While manufacturing guns didn’t prove to be that difficult, it was very challenging to make bullets for the guns.
So, a group of Jewish people decided to build a ammunitions factory under a kibbutz, which is a communal area of land designed for a specific purpose, such as farming. The area was near a British base. In 1945, the group built structures on the surface that resembled a kibbutz and in about three weeks, they built an entire ammunitions factory eight meters underground. The factory was about the size of a tennis court.
The factory stopped operating in 1948, three years after being built. In 1987, the factory was restored and turned into a museum that is now open to the public.
