This tile artwork by Maria Keil, "Pastores" (Shepherds) is at the Museu Nacionaldo Azulejo in Lisbon. Walking through the museum, I came across this, which was easily the coolest piece in the gallery.
And that led me down the rabbit hole of wikipedia, where I learned more about this amazing person, who many among other things designed the tile for the Lisbon subway:

A question for the #museam people found here, following a visit to the #Kunsthal in #Rotterdam and the powerful exhibit of #AiWeiwei 's work:
How is something like his Sunflower Seeds transported???
For those unfamiliar: the work is described as "a floor with 1 ton of hand-painted porcelain sunflower seeds" https://www.kunsthal.nl/en/plan-your-visit/exhibitions/ai-weiwei/ Photo is a detail of the work, which is much larger in total.
Kunsthal Rotterdam is proud to present a large-scale exhibition by one of today’s most prominent artists, the activist, and critic of authoritarian power systems Ai Weiwei. In Search of Humanity is his most comprehensive retrospective to date. Including paintings, cultural ready-mades, works made from LEGO bricks, sculptures, installations, photography, and video works, the exhibition presents an impressive overview of Ai Weiwei's over-four-decades-spanning career and features key works from all his different creative periods.

Funny the things that can remind you of home. This work seemed weirdly familiar- as it turns out, it is by Alexander Calder ("Reims, Croix du Sud"). Another work of his- aptly named "Pittsburgh"- hung in the Carnegie Museam in Pittsburgh before moving to the Pittsburgh airport. I didn't pay much attention to art growing up, but this made its way into my subconcious... https://calder.org/works/hanging-mobile/pittsburgh-1958/
