Yes it rains a lot in Seattle so why not an umbrella sculpture?

Rainbow glass art in Seattle. It’s called Facing You by Marvin Oliver.

The seat of government is also a fun place for tourists to hang out. Look for people inside the “O”. Look around the square for sculptures: Three-Way Piece No. 2 (The Archer) by Henry Moore, Oscar Nemon’s statue of Sir Winston Churchill and even a Roman column. If you’re looking to park your car, underneath is one of the world’s largest underground parking garages.

Fun side of Toronto finding this sculpture 2 woodpeckers pecking away in front of the Toronto Convention Center and near the Ripley’s Aquarium. 

Though it first looks kind of like a crystal chandelier, you soon learn that this hanging sculpture is the awful garbage killing the fish in the ocean. It’s in the Ripley’s Aquarium of Toronto.

Notice the water streams of the fountain are projecting out of about a dozen dogs. Dog sculptures are in this cute park in downtown Toronto.

As you enter St. Peter’s Basilica, in one of the first niches as go to the right, you can see Michelangelo’s famous sculpture of the Pieta, Madonna and child.

Florence’s Baptistry of the Duomo is renowned for its three sets of artistically important bronze doors which have relief sculptures. The south doors were created by Andrea Pisano, and the north and east doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti.

It was Michelangelo who gave the East doors their fame, calling them “the Gates of Paradise”. The 17-foot-tall gilded doors, weighing 4 1/2 tons, are casts of the original doors created in Ghiberti’s 15th-century workshop.

The Italian poet Dante Alighieri and many other notable Renaissance figures, including members of the Medici family, were baptized in this baptistry.
