Is it a horse or a bird??? Cheval ou oiseau???

Well, it is a horse with bird's head!

Created by the Italian Mimmo Paladino, his head is covered with real gold. The city of Strasbourg bought it 20 years ago for 250 millions italian lire, quite a lot. 4 meters tall, it stands on the roof of the Museum of Modern Art, and is called 'Hortus Conclusus', which means 'enclosed garden'. Don't ask me why.
No, really don't.

Sometimes, it's hard for me to differentiate between a graffiti and a painting. Let us call this... art. The artist in this case is called Delphine Harrer.

Difficile de differencier graffiti and toile. Ceci est en pleine vue et rue, appelons ca de l'art, tout simplement. L'artiste s'appelle Delphine Harrer, cliquez ici pour en savoir plus.
