This office park used to be the research and development headquarters of IBM in 1970. It contains architecturally iconic historical buildings created by Marcel Breuer in the 1960s. The first IBM personal computer was invented here along with the first smartphone. This campus was at the forefront of early robotics technology and other tech inventions. Rocket is the creation of Virginia artist Hubert Phipps who is well known for his abstract sculptures and paint pigment drawings He is also a champion race car driver and aviator. He took inspiration for Rocket from his love of aero dynamic forms. First he drew the model and created it out of clay. It was then rendered in 3D using Maya, a software modeling program. The rocket design is meant to represent the intersection of science and art while celebrating modern engineering. The 30-foot, 9.8 ton corrosive resistant stainless steel rocket was manufactured in 2019 at the Tany Foundry in Hangzhou, China. From there it experienced several Covid related delays crossing the Pacific Ocean and traveling through the Panama Canal before arriving 8,000 miles away in Boca Raton through a partnership with the Boca Raton Museum of Art and developer CP Group. The rocket sculpture is valued at 1.5 million dollars will be here for a five year loan period. I loved discovering this public art. The park like setting adds even more beauty to the sculpture. You can walk through it and discover the perfect spot to take a picture or selfie of yourself making it interactive art. Come out and experience it before it jets off to galaxies unknown.

To represent this forward-thinking presence, the Rocket sits in the very front as you drive through the round-a-about parking lot. Hubert Phipps' 30-foot stainless steel sculpture "Rocket" traveled over 8,000 miles to arrive as the new centerpiece at Boca Raton Innovation Campus, 5000 T-Rex Ave. Inspired by the artist's love of aerodynamic forms, the steel sculpture's full-scale fabrication began in 2019 at the Tany Foundry in Hangzhou, China. "The sculpture by Hubert Phipps was conceived as that intersection between art and science, and celebrates the heroics of modern engineering, as also seen in Marcel Breuer's historic building designs for IBM's North American Research and Development Headquarters," said Irvin Lippman, the Executive Director of the Boca Raton Museum of Art. The gleaming, stainless steel reflecting Rocket was two years in the making, with a nod to Sci Fi retro futurism. The Campus encourages visitors to walk around and underneath it, to enjoy their funhouse mirror images on the shiny surface. The monumental new sculpture Rocket by Hubert Phipps was been selected for an Art in Public Places initiative in South Florida, for the BRiC, the historic tech landmark where the first IBM Personal Computer was invented. This new public art program is part of a cultural partnership between the Boca Art Museum and CP Group, the owner of BRiC and a premier developer and operator of commercial real estate. South Florida officials heralded this announcement with an unveiling ceremony at BRiC, officially welcoming Rocket as one of the largest outdoor sculptures ever chosen for a public art initiative in Palm Beach County. The Phipps sculpture is valued at $1.5 million, stands 30-feet tall, weighs 9.8 tons, and took more than 7,000 square feet of stainless steel to construct. The Rocket sculpture towers alongside a waterfront panorama of iconic architecture designed by Marcel Breuer in the 1960s. This celebrated architectural style by Breuer is rarely seen at this grand of a scale, spanning so many acres. The new sculpture by Phipps and the historic buildings designed by Breuer marry each other well in the Brutalist style, creating a powerful visual impact.

There is a short movie that tells visitors about the inspiring life of George Morikami, the man who created this place and dedicated hundreds of acres back to Florida. There was an exhibition on Japanese Bridal Kimonos, Japan's efforts in American wars, and a model 16th century tea house with a very informative diagram explaining the traditions and build out. The gift shop had so many cool things bookmarks, Japanese candy, art, keep sakes, clothes, and so much more. Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens is unforgettable.

We spent our time visiting the Japanese gardens. It was excruciatingly hot the day we visited. We were glad for the frequent benches to stop and rest. We enjoyed the beauty of the various gardens. Especially liked the bamboo grove as my husband got to explain to a few folks a bit about bamboo and the ingenuity of his grandfather using bamboo on his farm in Georgia as irrigation conduits. The sign saying don't carve the bamboo next to a carved stalk was ironic... In addition to the various plant gardens, there were the rock gardens, the waterfalls, and the pine forest. Liked seeing the koi fish and turtles. Another highlight was the bonsai exhibit. Throughout the winding path, there were stone lanterns and small wooden huts. At the entrance to the area with the original 1977 museum is a laughing Buddha statue of Hotei, the god of happiness. Smaller than expected, you might miss it the first time you pass by. As a caveat, prepare for lots of walking. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat or carry a parasol, sunglasses. They have a couple areas with steps, but there is an alternative "easier" path for strollers or handicapped. And if possible, come when it's cooler. I'm glad we walked the entire perimeter. But for someone very much out of shape, I know I'll be feeling my achy muscles. I'm glad we got this brief glimpse into the history and culture of the Japanese in South Florida. It's one of the most distinctive tourist attractions in our area.

The interior storefront is part ice cream store, part candy shop, and part open seating. It connects directly to Bambini's pizzeria, which is takeout only. However, the open seating is the perfect spot to eat that pizza. Old fashioned looking booths and tables are made even more fun with a ceiling full of vintage toys and interesting items. My kids spent the whole time pointing at things they saw. In the front, there is a table with paper products and pizza fixings. You don't have to eat inside though - there is also eating outside. A small backdoor is the secret entrance to their amazing backyard space- full of tropical plants, statues, some covered tables (although not covered during heavy rain). To go beyond this, you must pay a fee- to see their animals. A very old school florida spot! It was raining so we weren't able to go this time, but my kids loved looking at all the vintage things and drooling over a million candies, that it was fun just being there.

To the right is their pizza shop, which I haven't tried but always seems to have a line of people waiting so it must be good! Out back is where the real magic happens. It's like walking through the Narnia wardrobe. There are several areas for dining outdoors , a smoothie shop, a train ride, and a GIANT area to walk through in using all types of animals .

They also have food available to purchase so you can feed the animals. I recommend grabbing the veggies bucket because the goats roaming around LOVE the veggies and are very friendly with kids!!! They also offer a petting area where kids are able to interact with bunnies, pigs and goats. There is something to do for kids and adults of all ages!!!!!!!!!!

Just walk in, go right into the venue or stop by the very basic "bar" for some beer or wine to take in with you. Pricing is fair for everything, including tickets... it's a non- profit. Went to see a Reggae Group that was doing a tribute to Bob Marley... main singer used to play with Bob. The band was great. Venue acoustics were great... love being so close... pretty much all the tables provide awesome seating. For this show you could select your table in advance... even though you select your seats online when you purchase your tickets, the seats are actually not reserved... you pick any seat at your table when you arrive. Worked out well. The staff, all volunteers, who work here are the nicest people! Really love this place!! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It is located in the Harmening Arbor Memorial Park in front of the East Water Treatment Plant in Boynton beach at the corner of Seacrest Boulevard and Woolbright Road.. Dalquist and Niebur also created the Welcome to Port Everglades art piece that serves as the security checkpoint into Port Everglades. The $255,000 water-themed sculpture was part of the city's $30.8 million water-treatment facility project and it was required by the city's Art in Public Places program which was created in 2005 when the city commission passed an ordinance requiring 1 percent of each public project's value be applied to art. Water, You, and I was completed in January, 2018. The purpose of the piece is to tell a story of where water comes from before it comes out the tap. Dalquist and Niebuhr's design was chosen out of 35 other artists submissions which all had to incorporate public education and the value of the city's drinking water systems into the art pieces. Water, You, and I is a 16 foot square pavilion made of 316 Stainless Steel plate mounted on structural steel framing. designs drilled and pressed into the steel allow water and light to enter which suggests the sky, the earth, and the flow of water. At the top is a circular structure with an original haiku on the inside about the source of water. "Water, you and I. Sky falling thru sand and stone. Are you thirsty yet?" There is a water fountain for people and a water bowl fountain for dogs inside the pavilion which allows people to access clean drinking water. Accompanying the pavilion is a graphic mural on the background wall that serves to highlight the geology of the Floridan Aquifer. The mural is made up of five 3-by-10-foot aluminum panels covered with vinyl reflective film. Images of sky, flowing water, and an aquifer blend with blue paint on the wall that separates the plant from the park. The pavilion has caught my eye several times when passing by and I am glad I finally stopped to check it out today. You have to be inside it to see the haiku. It was interesting to see it up close and how it ties into the drinking water theme to complement the treatment plant. Boynton Beach has an amazing public art program and pieces like Water, You, and I are why it is so strong.

First announced in December of 2018, it is part of a new 1.15 million dollar art project to create kinetic and interactive art to bring cultural tourism to Boynton Beach and to make the new Town Square "iconic, interactive, and connective". Some of the money came from the city while the majority came from a private developer. Art is dispersed around the area in the new Kapok Tree Park, the new  fire station, police headquarters, and two new parking garages that will have murals. I love horses and public art so I was really delighted to discover this guy hanging out in front of the culture center. It was created in 2015 by artist Adrian Landon who grew up riding horses. Of his horse pieces Landon has said "My work also has a lot of sound in it, just the metal clanking, like the hooves touch the ground and slide on a metal sheet. And you can hear the chains. So it's very much about providing a new experience for people." When I visited, the horse was just hanging there but I saw on the internet videos where the motor is turned on and the horse looks like it is running. It is very cool to watch. You can find several large scale art pieces outside in this area. The rest of the exhibit is inside the Arts and Cultural Center. Come check out art that no only moves you, it actually moves.

Last week, everything came together and we were finally able to stop by the museum after a nearby lunch. The museum is located on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Swinton. We've passed by many time going east on the avenue. There is metered parking on the side streets. The museum is in the hundred year old plus Delray School House. We entered and were greeted by the docent/volunteer. She told us a little about the building's history and which classrooms were originally located where before the remodeling was done. She also told us that they have no permanent exhibits, and that all the art work in the building was for sale. If you were interested in buying something, you should inquire about the price of the piece in the museum store. The first floor was occupied with works by the American artist, Dorothy Gillespie. Although she was a painter, she also worked in many different media. She was well known for her creative, colorful metal works of art. One quote compares her level of metal craft and skill as equal to Chihuly and his glassworks. On the second floor -- yes, there is a big staircase, but we took the elevator from inside the gift shop/store -- are works by Chilean-born Gustavo Novoa. Approximately 30 paintings show colorful, luxurious jungle scenes with animals. The volunteer said his art reminded her of the lushness of Gauguin's paintings. On second floor, there is also an exhibit of mosaics from a Mexican school. They are portraits of famous people -- actors, singers, etc. You will recognize most of them. The tiny pieces are put together in intricate patterns to form the faces. In some of them, they incorporate other materials -- like a piece of jewelry as a broach, leather as clothing, etc. They are fascinating to view up close first and then step back to see the overall portrait. The exhibits rotate periodically. The museum entrance is free, but there is a suggested donation of $5 per person which we happily paid. I'm glad we finally got a chance to visit.
