Ravinia, our outdoor summer concert venue, has cancelled its season this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Here is a pretty scene of Ravinia from July of last year, for Mind Over Memory’s Sculpture Saturday.
Sculpture Saturday: Field Museum
Mind Over Memory has a weekly invitation for sculpture photos. Last year, when we got home from our trip to the Middle East, we visited the Egyptian exhibit at The Field Museum in Chicago. These are sculptures – or sculpted wooden mummy cases. Royalty in ancient Egypt would encase their mummified loved ones in several of these cases. The wooden ones might be painted, while others were made of bronze or glass.
Small sculptures of gods would also be buried in the tomb to offer protection in the afterlife.

Street art

Sculpted steins at Dank Haus

Sculpture Saturday: Schoenbrunn Palace
I really liked the graceful Romanesque sculptures of lovers in the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna.
