As soon as I saw the stunning architecture of the Owensboro, Kentucky, Convention Center, I knew I was in for an architectural treat!
Before exploring the inside, I took the opportunity with the gorgeous bright blue skies, to photograph some of the outdoor features, adjacent to the convention center. One of these was the Kentucky Kid statue:
I took a stroll along the lovely park adjacent to the Convention Center, that occupies a scenic spot beside the Ohio River. The swings under these cupolas are particularly inviting.
A round concrete pier reaches out into the river:
A musician was sitting on one of the benches, strumming a very pleasant tune of a song about the river.
A playground adds fun activities for the youngsters (visible through the archway of the restrooms), and there were dozens of children enjoying the equipment on this beautiful day in late winter, when I visited.
The babbling sounds of a lovely round fountain provided a nice addition to the quiet flow of the river beside it.
A metal bench makes a perfect location to sit and observe the boat traffic along the river :
More benches provide seating to watch the distant bridge auto traffic:

The gigantic art installation inside the Convention Center made good use of the light and shadows provided by the vast expanses of glass:
