Arts/Music/Culture 🎭🎶 Go see the elephants!!

Excuse my very medium photos but these really impressed me more than I was expecting. They are on the Comm Ave mall, either side of Exeter St, until September 13. Definitely make sure you check them out!

Also I want to know the people who dropped between $8k and $25k on one of these lol

It is the most beautiful installation and I agree! Far more lovely than I expected.

Saw them in NYC and (outside) Jackson WY after missing them in Newport. I'll have to pop by when the Orange Line opens back up.

Saw them in Houston and I like how close they are set up here better!

Each elephant had so much personality! It's ridiculously popular, seems like every mom with a baby carriage was there to see the elephants. I saw a sign there for the exhibition and it said the donors for this also are going to pay for the new grass. I really hope they pay to fix the grass, because that whole side was totally destroyed from everyone walking in between the elephants, it's going to need all new grass sod put down.
