Tate Modern

This is from a few weeks ago, but Tate Modern is one of my favorite museums/art galleries in London, and they had a cool exhibit on the first floor.





My apologies for the hairballs in the third picture, but they do look really cool up close. These are sunflower seeds made from porcelain by a Chinese artist. There are over 150 million 'sunflower seeds' in the room. It is so insane, especially because they all look so realistic. When it was originally made, you could walk on them, but that got too out of hand so now its just for display.

When I went two years ago the display on the first floor was a jungle gym-esque exhibit that you could climb on. It was supposed to be some 'mind-breaking' modern art because it was 'so modern' that it was being created as you acted on it. Yeah...
