The New Museum is showing a survey exhibition of the German artist Carsten Höller (b. 1961, Brussels, lives and works in Stockholm)

He has transformed the gallery into a playground. It sounds like there are heaps of art works on display that visitors can actually have A LOT OF FUN with. Would you like to connect to the inner child once again?

Here’s a list of what Joanna Goddard at A Cup Of Joe found enjoyable:

“…a mirrored carousel, where you sit on swings and rotate slowly, while listening to actual birds singing. It was incredibly relaxing, and you felt like you were five years old…

102-foot-long slide that runs from the museum’s fourth floor to the second floor…Whoosh! The slide was FAST with twists, turns and blinking lights. You basically fly out of the tunnel at the end; I definitely screamed! 🙂 What a trip!

…and upside-down goggles, which make you see the world (you guessed it) upside down.”

 

It would be a perfect show for families or bored adults alike.

I’m dying to check this out!
