Institute of Ice

I stopped by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts a couple weeks ago to see the ice sculptures they had on display in the courtyard. All were based on some of the more popular pieces inside the museum. Not sure if they had them commissioned, but they were created by a local company Minnesota Ice Sculptures. Even though I was there the day after it opened, all the pieces were already in a state of meltdown. In spite of this, it did produce some interesting textures inside the ice as one would see in a melting ice cube. It also gave me the chance to test out my newly acquired lens.
