Morning art walk

Walking past the Kimmel Center this morning I saw there was some sort of hubbub inside, so I went in to check it out. Turns out they were having a small art exhibit in the lobby, featuring busts of famous composers that played recordings of their work when you pushed a button.

The cool part was that the busts were sculpted out of old books:

Not knowing much about classical music, I spent more time checking out the book spines than the faces and recordings. So far as I could tell, they didn't have any relation to the composer they (ahem) composed, but seemed to be chosen based on size and color.

What a nice way to start the day - surprise art!
