This massive relief sculpture covers the north side of the Greece Hotel in the port city of Mokpo, Korea. It roughly represents "The Creation of Adam" from Michelangelo's famous painting in the Sistine Chapel.

This is perhaps not the greatest art, and is most likely composed of molded fiberglass, but it nonetheless striking on this "out of place" looking hotel in the southern port city of Mokpo, Korea. Why an Italian painting adorns the Greece Motel, is a mystery. The dome isn't really Greek, either. Doesn't it look like a replica of the U.S. Capitol dome?
