A little bit of Decorah--at the Denver International Airport!

Artist Gary Sweeney has a new public art piece on display at the Denver International Airport.  "America, Why I Love Her" was inspired by family road trips from the artist's childhood. While traveling around the United States, Gary Sweeney was struck by the beauty and grandeur of the land, as well as the truly bizarre monuments and roadside attractions that dot the American landscape. "America, Why I Love Her" is an attempt to pay homage to family vacations in general, and to tourist spots in particular.

Speaking of tourist spots, Decorah is one.  That's why Decorah native Dawn Svenson Holland was able to spot a little piece of Decorah at the Denver In Sweeney's artwork.

Look at the close-up of "America, Why I love Her," and notice that Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum is shown in Iowa.
