The Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) is unique and stone-sculptured.[14] It was added in the 1860s, when several buildings were demolished to make way for it.[15] The carvings by James Forsyth depict seven scenes from the Stations of the Cross.[16] The first shows Christ being condemned by Pontius Pilate, while the second is Christ carrying his cross. The third sculpture illustrates Christ falling under his cross, supported by Simon of Cyrene. The next tableau is of Christ meeting his mother and then having his clothing removed. The final representations as you climb the steps towards the church are of Christ being nailed to the cross and then his death, which is displayed on the gable of the north porch.[10][17][18]
I am always amazed at the way that both rich and poor contributed to the art displayed in English Churches. Nowadays you are blessed if you have enough to keep the roof in good condition.

Returning from 2022 (when I couldn't go), Lightscape transformed the Royal Botanical Gardens of Melbourne/Naarm.
In past light exhibitions (I specifically recall their fire events), the art displays have been somewhat interactive. This exhibition kept you on a specific path you could not wander off from. Therefore I felt detached from the artworks. Whilst there were a couple of highlights in the first half (starting from the main gate entrance), I felt the real excited began after the midway point.
I went to the relaxed session, but their idea of lower numbers, is ridiculous. we started the trail right on go time, but within 45mins, the grounds were swarming with people. There should have been a much longer lead time for the relaxed session - lower numbers is the biggest draw card for people with disability and neurodiversity. PLUS the volume of the music playing was not at relaxed levels. Accessibility isn't hard, so why do so many venues continue to fail?! Not that buying an accessible ticket was accessible - Ticketek is really a sh!t show when it comes to accessibility - it took six weeks to book a ticket that could have been purchased in 15mins (not to mention the stress involved in having to get someone to organise to take a call at a time that suited all parties - with my brand of autism I do not speak over the phone).
The official blurb: "Be mesmerised by a six metre orb made of thousands of LEDs, singing trees and a flickering fire garden amongst colour-changing installations, soundscapes and large-scale illuminated sculptures. Experience the new two kilometre trail around the lake and celebrate the beauty of nature after dark."

For the time being, Sharpes are actually running stage carriage work following the demise of Premiere. They're running the 50, 56A and 56B.
The 50 offers vital connections for those living in the remote parts of South-West Nottinghamshire, offering two daily return trips Monday to Saturday between West Bridgford and Colston Bassett, calling at Gamston, Tollerton, Cotgrave and Owthorpe along the way.

DOT Art partnered with the NYC Commission on Human Rights to present an Art Display Case Exhibits installation on the sidewalk at Lenox Avenue between 124th Street and 125th Street in Manhattan by the Commission’s first Public Artist in Residence (PAIR), Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. The PAIR Program, established by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, embeds artists within City agencies to address civic issues through creative practice. Fazlalizadeh’s citywide project for the Commission focused on New Yorkers’ experiences with anti-Black racism and gender-based street harassment. The Art Display Case Exhibit featured black and white portraits and quotes from women Fazlalizadeh interviewed at various locations across the City. The exhibit coincided with Fazlalizadeh’s series of murals in partnership with local business, IMPACCT Brooklyn and the Department of Sanitation Building at 55th Street and 12th Avenue.

According to the museums homepage, it is a striking 19th century industrial monument . Built as mill, it was operated as such for over 100 years until 1972.
Based on the master plan by Sir Norman Foster, the former industrial wasteland of Duisburg’s inner harbour, where the museum lies, was changed into an area on the waterfront – with offices, appartements, gastronomy and cultural facilities
The architects Herzog & de Meuron were commissioned with the conversion of the museum itself.
It features continuous white walls up to 6 m high, the floor grey and a sequence of spacious room areas. As a connection to outsidethere are only window slits .
Appart from the art displayed, the museum also attracts many architecture-loving visitors, not least because of the stair towers.
During the evening at last September's Super Art Crawl in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, droves (as many as 100,000 – estimated over 2 days) of people came in to see the art displays, visit galleries, hear live performances and, of course, sample the great food along James Street North. One 'fortunate' couple managed to obtain the table in the window at MEX-I-CAN, a popular eatery serving, you guessed it, Mexican cuisine. Given the crowds, I guess you had to take what you could get. At least the food here is worth the downside of being put on display. - JW

HDR processing was done with free Open Source Luminance/Qtpfsgui using the Fattal tone-mapping operator to emphasize colour rather than texture. PP in free Open Source GIMP: adjust tone curve into a classic 'S' curve to get a more natural looking tonal range distribution, adjust perspective to remove keystoning, crop to a square format to cut off anything beyond the window frame, adjust contrast slightly, adjust colour balance to reduce green cast in a very mixed lighting environment, sharpen, add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, scale to 1800 wide for posting.

The Glass House or Johnson house, built in 1949 in New Canaan, Connecticut, was designed by Philip Johnson as his own residence and is a masterpiece in the use of glass. It was an important and influential project for Johnson and for modern architecture. The building is an essay in minimal structure, geometry, proportion, and the effects of transparency and reflection. The estate includes other buildings designed by Johnson that span his career.
The house is an example of one of the earliest uses of industrial materials like glass and steel in home design. Johnson lived at the weekend retreat for 58 years, and since 1960 with his longtime companion, David Whitney, an art critic and curator who helped design the landscaping and largely collected the art displayed there.

This was pretty wild. One of 4 displays along the Ben Franklin Parkway in Philly. (The long exposure pics I grabbed kind of reminded me of that alien mothership ball thing in "The Day The Earth Stood Still" remake") :) The art display is part of the 100th anniversary of the Ben Franklin Parkway, it will be dismantled in March, 2018

On display from May 22, 2013 to late August 2013, ten art display cases featured the inaugural show for the DOT Urban Art Program titled There is no US Without U. The art display structures were hosted at the Willoughby Plaza in Downtown Brooklyn. The featured artwork was created by veterans participating in an art therapy program at the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System (VA NYHHS). As part of the program, veterans shared memories and experiences through the practice of storytelling and art-making. Each participant created a collage that was reproduced as vinyl adhesives and affixed to one of art display structures.
Ten art display structures will host rotating exhibitions that will move to plazas throughout the five boroughs. DOT will partner with institutions and individual artists to curate the structures. The prototype structure was exhibited in spring and summer 2012 at Bogardus Plaza and Water and Whitehall Plaza. The structure was designed by the Architecture Research Office, an award-winning architecture and urban design firm based in New York City, and fabricated by Goetz Composites, a leader in custom composite construction based in Rhode Island.

There were tons and tons of paintings that took my breath away. I didn't want to take photos of them and show them here as deep down, I felt I was stealing their creativity.

The first plans for this modern art museum were made as early as 1943, when Solomon R. Guggenheim decided he wanted a permanent place for his massive art collection. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright took on the project, but did not live to see it completed. Neither did Guggenheim, who died ten years before the official opening in 1959. The Upper East Side museum became the topic of heated discussions in New York: people felt the building overshadowed the art displayed in the museum. Over the years though, New Yorkers have come to love it. The museum became a famous landmark and is featured in many films, such as Men in Black, The International and most recently Mr. Popper’s Penguins. In the latter, penguins slide down the entire spiral walkway and cause mayhem in the museum.

PETERSEN AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM
6060 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036
The Petersen Automotive Museum is dedicated to the exploration and presentation of the automobile and its impact on American life and culture using Los Angeles as the prime example. Encompassing more than 300,000 square feet, its exhibits and lifelike dioramas feature more than 150 rare and classic cars, trucks and motorcycles.
Covering four floors, the facility features permanent exhibits on the first floor that trace the history of the automobile. Visitors are invited to walk through, not by, exhibits and dioramas and experience settings of early Los Angeles where the world’s first shopping district was designed.
The second floor presents five rotating galleries with state-of-the-art displays of racecars, classic cars, vintage motorcycles, concept cars, celebrity and movie cars, and auto design and technology.
The May Family Discovery Center is located on the third floor. Designed to spark interest in science by way of the automobile, the 6,500 square-foot, interactive “hands-on” learning center teaches children basic scientific principles by explaining the fundamental functions of a car.
A spectacular all-glass penthouse conference center, Founder’s Lounge and kitchen, comprise the fourth floor, which is available for special events and functions.
The Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, governed by a Board of Directors. The Museum is located at 6060 Wilshire Boulevard (at Fairfax) in Los Angeles.
From informationBritain: "Built in 1824, Cyfarthfa Castle is an impressive monument to the Industrial Revolution. Once a Regency mansion, it now houses a magnificent museum and art gallery. The basement atmospherically recalls over 3,000 years of history in this important Welsh town, whilst the restored upper floors are a grand setting for the art displays and the eclectic collections from the ancient world. The castle is set in 160 acres of parkland containing formal gardens, sweeping lawns, a lake, children's play facilities, a model railway and much more. The castle and park are situated on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and make a great day out."

The May Family Discovery Center is located on the third floor. Designed to spark interest in science by way of the automobile, the 6,500 square-foot, interactive “hands-on” learning center teaches children basic scientific principles by explaining the fundamental functions of a car.
A spectacular all-glass penthouse conference center, Founder’s Lounge and kitchen, comprise the fourth floor, which is available for special events and functions.
The Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, governed by a Board of Directors. The Museum is located at 6060 Wilshire Boulevard (at Fairfax) in Los Angeles.

Against the Grayne - 3/26/2010 - @ Space Gallery
The Against the Grayne show at Space Gallery was a cohesive look into producing art on found and pre-fabricated wooden surfaces. San Francisco's best talent came forth to offer their creative juice - from Robert Harris's free flowing images to the skulls of Dylan Kelly - the art displayed here embellished strong street aesthetics while using surfaces more akin to those of abstract expressionist Robert Rauschenberg. Against the Grayne was a tightly curated show that showed focus, affordability, and a great opportunity for an emerging collector to break into the burgeoning San Francisco scene.
