Auburn, Indiana -
Dancing Giants

They have several very cool displays entitled "Sculptures on the Square" in the downtown Auburn area. We happened upon this in 2009, and they have since added several new sculptures.

The "couple dancing" is new, and directly across from the Auburn Pancake House (heart of downtown).

The Auburn courthouse is a gorgeous "must see" (beautiful hanging baskets dripping with flowers), and very well maintained. [Debra Fradette, 09/03/2010]

[RA: The temporary exhibit of 13 life-sized bronze statues (generic people doing mundane activities) by Seward Johnson returned in 2010. As for the giants, large sculptures of dancing couples are showing up in other places. They look like commercial fiberglass statues advertising ballroom dance classes -- but are on display (for now) simply as public art (tipster Paige Mano points out that these figures are "based on a painting by Renoir -- 'Dance at Bougival.' The original is in the MFA in Boston.")]
