MFA revisited


It is still warm enough to sit outside the Garden Cafeteria in the Calderwood Courtyard of the MFA. Most of the time I keep my distance to large dogs but with this 'Pair of Great Danes' I feel relaxed and can enjoy the beauty of these watch dogs.


Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973) was one of the most famous American animal sculptors and created these Great Danes in 1907.  The sculptures where installed in the courtyard last Spring and after a naming contest with over 20.000 entries they are now named BRENDA and HUGO.
