Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

- Albert Einstein

a monument to

the monument of imagination provides everyday people with the opportunity to activate their imagination, allowing them to think as they did when they were children, when elephants could y and the grass could be any color you wanted it to be.
