Ovation of the Seas - Art Gallery

From the time one steps on the ship all one can see in any direction is the artwork. Much of it is interactive and all of it is worth a look. I can't possibly post all the art work, in fact I know I didn't see all the artwork - the cruise was only 12 days! Here are a few of the amazing works.

   

And outside artwork....

Some of the artwork was interactive.....

When one walked past, the vertical components would make a chiming noise.

 This one had a panel in the centre that when one touched a butterfly it would fly around and come back to where it started.

 This one didn't work as well after the first day. When one walked past the panels would change with the movement.

There were many changing artworks. This one was near the bionic bar, and we also had one not far from our cabin.

 I was amazed with this counter in the Waterfront Restaurant, where we got our fresh orange juice each morning. It is made of polished shells embedded in concrete.

Adelaide - Cultural Area

All around Adelaide are statues and interesting art works, but along North Terrace you not only have heritage buildings,  but the Art Gallery, State Museum, and universities.

 This is not too far from the zoo.

 This gazebo is in Elder Park was built in 1882 and is made of iron.

One of the interesting sculptures.

These buildings are opposite the State Museum. I'm not sure what they are, but they look good.

This sign was in front of the museum. I remember growing up playing this game with my Mum and sister and brother while walking on the footpath.

Very interesting piece of art outside the SA Art Gallery. Not sure if I like it, but it is certainly interesting.

Jonnie thought it was a puzzle.

This water feature is made up of many cylinders. The birds liked playing in them as much as the children did.

Another water feature outside the State Library. It is made of local slate.

This on top of the Adelaide Festival Centre.  I'm not sure if it is art or if it is something functional.

Many stone art pieces can be found, and I'm sure that they have a meaning,  but couldn't find anything.




Happy travels
