Sweden is the country being honored in this year's Memphis in May celebration, and the
Botanic Garden is highlighting "a smorgasbord of Swedish-style botanicals".
They also have an
art exhibit of photos of Icehotel.
Icehotel is fascinating. I think of ice as a fleeting phenomenon and remember with awe the only time I was able to stand on a frozen lake. To have a building and furnishings made from ice that lasts for months? Wow!
Did you know that
Sweden is the most socially advanced country?
Wow, it´s always an odd experience to see one´s own country presented abroad. That looks like a lovely exhibition. And I am ashamed to admit that I have never been to the Icehotel, even though it´s only a few hours drive.
