A Wooden Cow!
Good night, friends!
Here's an interesting sculpture I saw in Riga, Latvia. It was made up entirely of planks of wood nailed to one another and it looked quite astonishing. A simple... but perfectly executed idea!
This piece of art was in display at the front of the Latvian National Museum of Art (Latvijas Nacionālais mākslas muzejs) and it was just one of the many art pieces housed at the museum. They claim to have over 50 000 artworks on display at the museum. That is a really huge number, eh?
The smaller sculpture you see at the back... I'm not quite sure, but I believe it was a trashcan.
The front of the building is very artistic on itself, as you can see below. It looks like a roman building, with those columns and figures adorning its walls. 😎
Riga is a very nice city. When I travel I usually find out that the capital isn't the most beautiful nor the most interesting city of a country. I don't know any other Latvian city but I wonder if any of them can beat Riga? 🤔 I found it pretty impressive, lovely and with lots of interesting sights. And the food was awesome, too! 😋

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it 😊
This strange new breed of cow makes me uncomfortable.
Does it make milk or pulp?
I think this cow only makes bonfires! 🤪
Art certainly takes many forms :)
It sure does! Thanks for your visit. 😊
The sculpture and the trashcan are not really what I would call art but I suppose there is something for everybody :)
Ahahaha. Why not? 🙃
As rudimentary and crude as the construction might be, it looks pretty wonderful and fascinating! Not sure if this is a cow that I'd want to milk or pet though, seeing how many splinters I'll get. Hopefully there's a fine layer of veneer over that woody cow. 😆
Yeah, it was well polished. Or else it would be a hazard for the passing children and the EU would kick Latvia out. 🤣
Lol, Latvia is on edge of hostilities now. We wouldn't want an un-lacquered cow to come along giving everyone splinters 😂
Nice one! Very innovative!
Yeah, it was pretty cool! Thanks for dropping by! 😊
50.000 artworks!! thats aaalooooooootttt!!! and that Latvian National Museum of Art just beautiful
Yeah, that really is a lot. I wonder where do they keep them all! 🧐
It just looks "Crisp"!
Of course I may he away from civilization too long!
