A panorama of a sculpture court that I don't remember seeing on my previous visits. (Maybe it was redesigned?)	One sculpture along the wall.	A high-resolution picture looking down into the back of this sculpture court. That's a large edifice!	"Fritted" glass, fused together in a funky way. Though you may think it's hard to figure out what's going on from the full-sized version of this picture, but it was almost as hard to make out in person. It's got a kind of dense lace look, but I can't say much more.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit translated into many other languages. How many can you recognize? Game clue fodder.	I often hear Brits ask, "fancy a pot of tea?" and think, "gosh, what about a normal amount such as a cup?" I realize now that British pots come in a variety of sizes, and if you as an individual order a pot, they'll bring you a small pot with capacity for perhaps a cup and a half of liquid. This sculpture, which I'd like to caption "Fancy a cup of tea", makes me wonder if other people are mislead about the size of cups in the same way I was mislead about the size of teapots. Note the size of the pen, for comparison, in the foreground.
