This, the second one, is at the bottom of the amphitheater on the west side of the main building of the museum, on the lowest level of seats. Both works are just as cute as can be, depicting mythical creatures that exist solely in the mind of Tom Otterness.

In the first work we saw a pair of fishes (we are guessing they are fish) lugging about heavy bags. This work shows us that those bags were likely filled with money, for here we have two more fantasy beings, removing money from a similar bag and eating it. They're eating pennies, so though not totally free, it makes for a very low cost lunch. Again, a seriously cute sculpture. I got more than a couple of chuckles from these - Thanks Tom Otterness!
