Guggenheim rendered in fungus
Kathryn sez, "My kids and I attended the New York Botanical Garden's Member's Evening last night and took in their holiday train show which features 140 New York landmark structures as rendered using natural materials. I thought Boing Boing readers would get a kick out of this pic of the Guggenheim Museum as rendered in tree fungus." Link (Thanks, Kathryn!)

Hello, first comment... You can see Michel Blazy's work, he uses food and materials that gets old to create ephemeral sculptures here. Look at the second page of Michel Blazy's work.
very high kitsch value
This exhibit--an annual event at the NYBG--is well worth the visit to anyone who is in the NYC area over the holidays. Dozens upon dozens of NYC-area landmarks are rendered in flora, and nestled among the existing foliage in the conservatory, all lit with holiday lights and with a train going through it all. The Guggenheim is cool, but the ones that really knock your eyes out are some of the Hudson River Valley historical houses, like Lyndhurst or Kykuit. Grand Central Terminal ain't so bad, either!
