I am still unwrapping the gifts from SL20B, which ended in July 2023.
Two of the SL20B exhibits that interested me were by Marea2007 Praga. The first was "The Theme of Road Travel" with texts from Che Quevara and Jack Kerouac, and the second was an Exhibit of 3d Sculptures and photos* in tribute to Polish artist Igor Mitoraj.
Some of Maria's SL20B gifts were outfits from her inworld store and when I visited I was pleased to find that she had an exhibit of many of her sculptures and information about Igor Mitoraj displayed outside the store.
She also has a marketplace store selling her fashion and a few of her art pieces. The clothing items are unique. Fashion can be art. Art & Fashion gives you both art and fashion.

There are many YouTube videos about Igor Mitoraj's art, here is one.
Wikipedia Article about Igor Mitoraj with photos of him and some of his artwork.
*Marea stated that her project represented a tribute to Igor Mitoraj's art and a contribution so that even one person who has never seen his sculpture can appreciate his unlimited creativity.

I've set up a small circular gallery in a skybox over Athetis for my collection of Mole- and Linden-made landmarks. Right now there are about a dozen rotating image displays. Anyone who visits can just click an image to get a landmark notecard.
Visitors may optionally choose a random landmark from my not-a-gatcha machine, or pick up ALL the notecards made so far from a small box by the door*.
There is a parachute dispenser for anyone who wants to exit by the door rather than the teleport, and dispensers for historic LDPW Fan Club T-shirts.

Notecard for "The Jungle" *Right now there are nearly 100 notecards, with no end in sight. I'm considering opening an annex on another parcel. |
Entering Wild West Town |
WILD WEST TOWN:
Wild West Town is a very early Second Life Build. It was originally located in Zoe, about 2002/2003, at the heart of what is now "Historic Second Life". In 2003 it was moved to its current location.
Wild West Town was a collaborative effort between the Lindens and the residents, and there are still builds in Oak Grove attributed to residents Cory Edo (of Trompe Loeil) and Cubey Terra (co-founder of historic Abbot's Aerodrome).
Originally Wild West Town was a combat and "damage allowed" area. Over time, the buildings became damaged or disappeared entirely and in searching the SL forum Archives I found numerous complaints about how decrepit the area had become.
By 2012 the area had been restored, but the area was no longer "damage allowed" or had newcomer-friendly activities. It is still an interesting place to visit, and a great example of first generation Second Life builds.

BUSY BEN'S VEHICLE LOT AND REZZING AREA:
Busy Ben's was originally an area where residents could buy and sell vehicles. You can still rezz vehicles there and drive over to the Vehicle Sandboxes nearby.
OAK GROVE STAGE:
The Oak Grove Stage, by Cory Edo, is in a space originally part of an "American Indian" themed community with teepees and a campfire.
