Visitors look at a monumental sculpture by artist Robert Therrien in the newly opened Metropolitan Arts Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland April 23,.
In Belfast, Northern Ireland, two new buildings have recently opened that they hope will draw tourists. The latest one is the Metropolitan Arts Centre (MAC) which houses this exhibit, Table and Four Chairs by Chicago-born artist Robert Therrien. The artist is known for his monumental sculptures which transform everyday objects into something more. This dining room set is nearly ten feet high and makes me think of Alice in Wonderland.
A few weeks ago the Belfast Titanic opened nearby. You can see more photos in our slideshow at left.
