Statue of girl in rain draws admirersBy Wu Chun-feng and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerA statue of a young girl standing in the rain at the Chimei Museum in Tainan has been popular among visitors amid a water shortage that has left water levels low at reservoirs in central and southern Taiwan. The statue, titled Catching Rain, depicts a young girl in a raincoat and boots who is looking up at the sky with her mouth open. The Chimei Museum focuses on Western art and historical artifacts, and has a number of statues in grassed areas outside it, including lining a walkway leading to its main entrance. A woman looks at the Catching Rain statue by US artist Gwen Marcus at the Chimei Museum in Tainan on Monday last week. The bronze statue was created by US artist Gwen Marcus, the museum said.
