Move One Place On (Alice in Wonderland sculpture)

Bronze and life-sized down to the empty chairs, the Mad Hatter, March Hare, Dormouse, and Cheshire Cat host a permanent tea party around a ten-foot table — sculptor Bridgette Mongeon hid 150 small bronze objects in the piece, one for each year since Lewis Carroll published the book.

The move: Bring your own tea (or a flask) and actually sit down at the open seats among the bronze guests, then spend twenty minutes hunting the sculpture together for as many of the 150 hidden objects as you can spot.
