I think it would be a cool life goal to find all of the Mamans

The trick is they sometimes move around. I have seen two.

I had no idea there were so many! I saw my first in London, then was freaked out to see the same thing in Roppongi later. I'm going to Kansas City in a few weeks, so I hope to add another notch to my belt there.

i saw the one at roppongi first. then the one at tate modern a week and bit later. that was a freak out.

actually i saw the Louise Bourgeois exhibition at tate modern. 12 pounds (approx aud $9850), but it was pretty good. she has interesting stuff other than giant spiders.

hmm, some of them are not full size.

ps, actually i think i've seen three, there was one a bit smaller inside at the tate in addition to the one outside.
