I am glad to have been able to share it with you. This was my first visit to the museum; it exceeded expectations. In this exhibit, the talent and creativity of the artists was amazing. In viewing the works, one experienced an element of surprise in seeing a subject from a distance then close up, when one realized what materials were used.

Wow, very interesting show of recycled material art. My work uses up-cycled scrap metal so it's inspiring to see what other artists are doing with reclaimed items. lots of talent in this show. I rely like the monkeys, the sweater dogs, clam shell. amazing!

The "trash to art" transformation from this Massachusetts Museum is being seen across the world, even in poor countries like Pakistan. There is so much potential for recycling even in the most ordinary of trash. It really makes you think about how we casually dump trash, without realizing how it could still help people.

This is really interesting, and I am going to show it to my art class. I wish you would have filmed it a little slower, as it is difficult to see the details on some of the works.
