Yesterday I showed you a little of the artwork around Children's Hospital, as well as the sign at the main entrance. The cheerful ambiance is continued throughout the hospital. Near the lobby on the second floor, a huge frog sculpture entertains everyone who walks by (above). While he doesn't make sounds, what you can't see is that lights in his stomach blink on and off.
Outside the hospital's main entrance, a colorful catfish greets everyone who walks by or into the hospital. The catfish was one of the sculptures found around Nashville a few years ago. Local artists decorated the fiberglass fish, and businesses bought them for display.
Hanging from the ceiling between the elevators on the second floor, this colorful glass light fixture adds an artistic flare as well as light to the building.
Tomorrow, I'll show you a bit more and the staircase.

Interesting, especially about the catfish sculpture. Our town will soon be doing butterfly sculptures to be unveiled on Riverfront Market Day in October.
That light fixture is really neat. There are a lot of creative people in Nashville, it seems!
I like the uniqueness of the lights; I always love things with lots of colors!

I like the catfish, if they only looked that colorful.
they're great! They'd certainly cheer me up.
I love all the decor from the past 2 days. I think it helps not only the patients, but their families as well to have cheerful things to look at in a time of high stress.
Muito interessante este post assim como o anterior.
E a foto do peixe gato está muito linda!
These are neat. I like them and the color.

i love the frog! the light is neat too, i like the 'lighting' in your photo on that one...
Very cool place!!
It does have a cheerful fantasy land feel and I'm sure the kids love the interesting animals at the hospital.
Good job on the photography.
Congrats on the Shelby St bridge posting.
