New Guinea Sculpture Garden
In 1994, organized by a Stanford anthropology graduate student, Jim Mason, 10 master carvers from the Middle Sepik River Region of Papua New Guinea came to Stanford to bring the New Guinea aesthetic to the United States. Passerbys began to take notice as the carvers worked under a grove of trees on the Stanford campus. As word spread, crowds gathered for weekly potlucks to enjoy the live art, share stories, dance, and sing. While it’s too late to see the excellent form of the carvers themselves, you can enjoy the beautiful form of their art. Enjoy a quiet meditative walk amongst the carvings by day or by night as the spotlights illuminate them.

Musee Mecanique
Located in San Francisco, this quirky museum houses dozens of toy gadgets and old arcade games. Tour the museum with an eye for the “body-mechanical” integrity of the toys: they hinge at the hips, their chests have dome-like contours, their heads balance evenly on their torsoes, and their limbs move freely without compromise to their baseline shape.
