You may need to put images next to your nominations. Hoi Polloi aren’t going to recognise them by their actual names

I will definitely need nice picies in the poll or I wouldn’t have a clue. Certainly not going to google all of them each round.

I prefer people to do their own research, as with the previous votes.
Although I suppose we can have a gratuitous picture of the Didarganj Yakshi and her enormous…
…. necklace.

Me the grumpy teenager gets dragged to the Vatican. Had worked out a way of sneeking beer and fags off the family at the place we were staying but oh no, 38 degrees outside and my parents hauled me to the centre of Rome. One very ungrateful brat I’m sure I was.
Then I saw this. Sat in slack jawed silence for quite a while. Changed a bit that day. Not least the utter hatred I had for the Catholic Church flying fully in the face of the teachings of JC. Anyway, still one of the finest things I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen myself naked.
Altar of St Peter’s Vatican City
The Vatican is certainly awe inspiring. Shame I walked through the Sistine Chapel without even noticing when I first went there 
Teaches me for not looking up!
There’s some wonderful Mayan art that’s over 1,000 years old.
As well as Mayan murals
And this Totem pole from Canada was a gift to the Queen. It’s located in Virginia Water, part of Windsor Great Park, and I was fascinated by it as a kid.
Also, some stunning mosaics…

I’m surprised that got any attention from you what so ever @Kopstar. I’ve obviously got the wrong end of the stick. 
Please leave my stick alone.
the murals on the Royal Palace in Bangkok need to be seen to be appreciated. cannot imagine the amount of gold leaf they have used on that artwork, it’s incredible.

Probably a bit late to the party, as this could have been crushed by the pile of rocks that ended up winning grand prize in man made structures, but the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria is beautiful. It has gorgeous colorful murals (that I’ll submit for this entry…) and the mountain backdrop adds a bit of mystique. Built in 12th century I believe. It’s a day trip outside of Sofia, pack a lunch and have a picnic in the mountains after walking the monastery if you get the chance.
…also…lots of natural light!!! (sorry Hope 
)

Surely the greatest painter and paintings of all time. Bob painting his happy little clouds can still today be viewed on YouTube. He has a cult following and his artworks are owned by many prestigious institutions. Really really good hairstyle too.
An inspiration to all serious artists and art lovers.
