“I’m big boned!”
The Columbus COSI is not only host to the inordinately fun CSI: The Experience, but also to a GIGANTIC skeleton (click for the full effect):
According to COSI representitive, Claire Paul, the skeleton is
A sculpture by Tim Rietenbach, an associate professor at the Columbus College of Art & Design. Originally funded from an individual artist grant from the Ohio Arts Council and created for Springfield Museum of Art. This skeleton is 100 feet long, 30 feet higher than the COSI Atrium. It was constructed from fifty rolls of 14-gauge fencing material weighing approximately 1,500 pounds.The skull itself is 11 feet high. Installation of GIGANTIC at COSI is made possible through financial support from: The Greater Columbus Arts Council, The Columbus College of Art & Design. Installed at COSI July 2003.
I was thrilled to see both while in Columbus this past May. I can’t wait to get my nephew there to play.
