"Modern Art"

Just to jump back to Rome for an experience not to be forgotten, There was a modern art gallery on the same street as the hotel where we slept: Borgo Vittorio. We walked by it every morning and evening, peered through the window, and saw a most bizzare sight: a human body, encased in a glass container full of water suspended by chains a few feet off the ground. Upon closer inspection through the gallery window, we could see that he was an old man with thick black hair and mustache. I commented that it looked like Saddam Hussein's body. We kept meaning to enter the gallery and take a closer look, and when we finally did, we confirmed that it was indeed Mr. Hussein's corpse submerged in what looked like water, and around his neck was tied a noose of thick rope. This exhibit dominated the gallery.  We took pictures. When we upload them, I will post. Strange, but strange is not unusual, in my experience.
