Landscapes based on works of art?

So, I checked out the Crooked House and loved it. Very Escher-esque at times which got me wondering: Are there any places in SL that are modelled around works of art? Escher's staircase, Dali's melting clocks (sculpted prims anyone?), Constable's Haywain and the like? I don't mean just going to see these works but an actual landscape modelled on them. It would be extraordinary to see. :)

By the crooked house, do you mean the one at Neko Valley (148,33,35)?

Wouldn't it be awesome to wander through Monet's waterlilies or Van Gogh's landscapes?

Let me see what I can do about adding Monet's waterlilies to The Botanical Gardens, that's a great idea!

Not sure if its Neko Valley, here's a link though.

If I had the ability and the funds I would do it myself but alas that's a long way off hehe. I just think that it would be something wonderful to see and, with sculpted prims crashing onto the scene, the possibilities are mouthwatering! Surely someone thought of this and made it happen. Wonderful expressionist landscapes, warm romantic scenes... I need to stop torturing myself! :)


Can I also tag on to my original question: Are there any places geared towards Art Deco style?
