The Hotel of Modern Art

In mid-October, I met my mother and sister in Guilin which is in Southern China. It is a beautiful place. Our first stop was the Hotel of Modern Art which is half way between Guilin and Yangshuo (more on Yangshuo later). What a find. The HOMA is located in a 550 hectare art park that has outdoor sculpure gardens with pieces by over 100 international artists. they also have a workshop on site in which local artists are creating pottery, wood furniture, glassware, etc. The hotel was luxurious -- a great retreat from the bustle of China. Photos include the hotel exterior, an outdoor scuplture of a cartoon elephant, and the furniture workshop. I really wanted to buy one of those small chairs, but they were pretty pricey!
