collection of funny/strange statues around the world.
Hard to pick a few of these; it's worthwhile checking out the whole lot.
One can debate about the nature of these sculptures, but here in Philly, I think debate over the public art has largely been outweighed by the value in them as interesting works and landmarks. People never forget the LOVE statue or the Oldenburg clothespin. It makes for a better place... as long as it's good work. They make us think differently about where we live. Thumbs up.
