Today we visited the Museum of Contemporary Art with a group of home schoolers. The museum has a fantastic collection showing at the moment, by a Danish artist called Olafur Eliasson.
These are a couple of his works that we saw. There is a tunnel of mirrors and lights, when you walk through one way it's colourful, but the other side of the points which jut out is black so that when you walk through it that way you are in a dark tunnel. There is a room painted white that is lit by yellow lights so that everything in the room (people can walk in) is a rather off putting shade of yellow, and a darkened room with a fine mist of water that light shines on, creating a rainbow. If you stand right under the water you see a perfect circle of a rainbow in front of you, it's rather impressive!
There is also 300kg of white lego which the children were allowed to build things with, they spent an hour at least making houses and towers and various other creative things, then storing them at the side of the room where everyone else's creations were displayed.
