The beautiful and ever glamorous Monaco principality is holding a mind-boggling sculpture expo right on the streets of the famous Monte Carlo this March. You can view more photos of Monaco at the Monte Carlo Daily Photo blog by Jilly Bennett.

Jilly is also the owner of a luxury 5-star hotel for dogs called Pension Milou that is located on the posh French Riviera not far from Monte Carlo.

Don’t worry, all this is a sculpture too. Including the hand.
