There's a new outdoor sculpture exhibit at the NYBG in the Bronx. If you remember the Henry Moore exhibit, this is set up the same way except the sculptures are by Spanish artist Manolo Valdes. The seven sculptures are heads of women elaborately decorated and influenced by nature. The outdoor settings are stunning and you can walk right up and touch each work of art. This runs through May and will be visually different depending upon the season.

If you go, Monet is still on (although fading a bit) until Oct 21 and the waterlilies are beautiful.

A great way to spend a beautiful day!

Sounds great CP and since our theatre tastes are similar I suppose I should see this.

Yes

I'm not a lover of modern art, but like the Moore exhibit, it is really something to see these large pieces surrounded by green (for now) and walk around them. There are three pieces that I really loved.

My mo is to go on a Saturday morning and then have lunch and shop on Arthur Ave.
