Tourists on the South Bank


We were disappointed to find the Fashion & Textile Museum closed for a month while the next exhibit is installed.
But we did find one of the Mayor of London's Art Boxes.

Telephone boxes have been painted by well known artists then placed throughout the city.

We found 2 more that day.

 
 

In Calgary artists painted cows and left them all around the city.
Here in Victoria painted orca whales are found in unexpected places.

I put in a submission to have my phone box installation as part of this display but didn't get accepted. I guess well known artists raise more money at auction!

Gina, the mayor doesn't know what he is missing. i'm sure with your network bidding on your phone box would have been hot!

As I recall, in Toronto, it was done with moose...
