STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. Houston airport officials want travelers to feel happy. That's the object of new art. In line at a ticket counter, you may contemplate a blue mirrored-mosaic called the "Ethereal Sky." Later, travelers pass aluminum panels decorated with images of a field of flowers and grass.

You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
