[Anyone know if they allow tours of the art?]

I read sometime back that Microsoft does have regular art tours that are very popular. The article said the art is dispersed throughout the buildings and that attendees often become more interested in seeing how the Microserfs live than in the art. It said the tours were very popular with the Japanese, without offering any explanatory reason.

They are just completing a huge addition to the Redmond campus, and the artwork is probably an environmental centerpiece of this. I know several of their sites have an environment frill. There is a big fountain on one and an artificial creek with waterfall on another.

Yes, we just had an art exhibition just in our hallway a few weeks ago. Of course, with beer and snacks. Although I don't understand any of those, it is good to have some beer and chart with my friends. :-)
