JAVIER MARIN - FABULOUS, LARGER THAN LIFE, SCULPTURES

How facinating to see the rest of the displays of head sculptures in downtown Campeche.  These amazing resin and bronze sculptures are by the talented Javier Marin. They are located in five locations in the downtown area. 



Marin has displays around the world.   The Campeche State Government through the Ministry of Culture have kindly arranged for these displays.
















Do make sure to visit these displays.  They are
truly amazing.




Connect with the artist on Facebook.

GET AHEAD IN CAMPECHE


Campeche has a wonderful cultural program of displaying amazing metal sculptures in various streets in the downtown.  They are there for a limited time and then the display disappears and another pops up elsewhere.




We made the mistake when we saw an earlier display of thinking we could get photos another day.  "And there they were - gone" the next time we came.


This time the moment was seized.  There is another sculpture, off to the side, in its protective cocoon waiting to be unveiled.



If you are visiting Campeche they are located by Principal Park downtown by the tourism office.
I'll endeavour to find out more details but do put them on your tour.  They are quite interesting and very impressive.
While you are visiting us also check out the permanent metal statues around town.  Mexico has fabulous metal artwork.
Have you seen some in another city?  Would love to see your pix.  Email to sunnnymex@gmail.com.
