The Decordova Museum and Sculpture Park

We went for a photographic exhibition at the Decordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA with our friend Toh who visited us over last weekend. Toh drove for a personal record time of 12 hours each way from his home in Akron, Ohio to Boston. Also a photo enthusiast, we were all game for a little visual stimulation and the current exhibition "Presumed Innocence: Photographic Perspectives of Children" was the perfect opportunity (along with Toh's car) to drive a half hour away to the beautiful museum park.
The exhibition features works by Robert Frank, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Larry Fink, Dorathea Lange, Alex Webb, Sally Mann, just to name a few famous names. The place is worth a visit. It's one of the few museums in the world to have a sculpture park with over 35 acres of wooded land featuring at least 75 large scale outdoor contemporary American sculptures.
What a cool sculpture! Hasn't everyone felt like doing this at some point? I know I have!
A new addition to the 75 sculptures on display. What's more, she's suspended in mid-air!
The DeCordova Sculpture Park provides the only large ongoing exhibition of contemporary outdoor sculpture in New England, and is one of the few sculpture parks in the world to maintain a constantly rotating program.
My "artistic" contribution.
