    Can you bee-lieve it? The bees of Pierre Huyghe's 'Exomind' are buzzing once again in their new permanent home in the Sculpture Garden 🐝 With its colony of bees pollinating the surrounding flora, the sculpture offers a poignant metaphor for the neural networks of the brain.

    Happy birthday to San Francisco sculptor Ruth Asawa, born on this day in 1926! The Japanese American artist is best known for her intricate, looped-wire sculptures, fifteen of which you’ll find on display in our Hamon Observation Tower lobby.
