Art in Bloom Field Trip, 2010

The Art in Bloom festival at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Celebrating its 27th year, the Art in Bloom exhibit takes over the museum with more than 150 floral arrangements standing alongside the pieces they interpret.

This year's theme is "Hello Tokyo!," and visitors are greeted by a number of large-scale, amazingly fragrant and beautiful, Japanese-inspired masterpieces surrounding the entrances to the MIA.

 You'll see examples of how the floral design was inspired by the art works at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

 Now we're talking! Chickens!!!

 A classic!

There are 6 newly hatched WILD Whooping Cranes this year in Wisc. They are trying to reintroduce a migratory population back into the United States. With this year's 6 chicks, there are now 7 total wild hatched chicks in the last 100 years. They were almost extinct.

 Simple, yet elegant.

This is a very good looking exhibit also!
