There was even one on our balcony, attached to the side of the wall. These babies (which can be found in many places around the world) were created by Czech Republic artist David \u010cern\u00fd and have been on loan to a local builder of the downtown revitalization project, for 20 months. They are right next to the \u201cForever Marilyn\u201d statue, which is the social media darling of Palm Springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDavid \u010cern\u00fd Babies on the Move<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFounded in 1938, the Palm Springs Art Museum<\/strong> has been a great source of unique art and history in Downtown Palm Springs.
