An impressive work of art

I don't consider myself to be an expert but I like modern art. The most appealing thing I find in it is the way artists explore new ways of surprising us.

I work near a Modern Art Museum which is an ancient industrial establishment reconverted to house modern art works. It is a perfect place for that because it has several buildings with big rooms separated for open courtyards with gardens and pounds. Mainly there are provisional exhibitions that change from time to time.

Occasionally, when I have a break, I like having a walk inside the museum enclosure and sometimes I find works that are showed in the open air.

Several weeks ago I was wandering about this place and suddenly I was ashtonished whe I looked up in front of me to the upper side of a building and I saw through a big window the huge face of a giant woman. My surprise increased when I looked to the left and I found an entire ten-metre arm appearing through another window of the same building.

Of course it was a work of art. It's title? I am sure you can figure it out: "Alice in Wonderland".

Kind regards.

Fernando.

Thanks for your delightful message Fernando - I loved the description of Alice! Where is this museum?
You write very well, just some small things to note:
separated for open courtyards = separated by...
pounds = ponds?
provisional exhibitions = temporary exhibitions
See you,
Pieter

Hello Pieter,
Thank you for your answer and your corrections.
I live in Seville and the Museum I am talking about is the Andalusian Centre of Modern Art.
Kind regards,
Fernando.

Oh OK thanks Fernando - I don't think I know that museum. Next time I'm in Seville I'll check it out!

Hi Fernando,
Your description made me feel like visiting this museum, though I live quite far away from you, in Barcelona. And I was in Seville a few te are ago and I think I did not come to the museum you’re describing. So next time I come I’ll make sure to put it in my to do list
