Leandro ERLICH [The Swimming Pool] 2004

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, opened in 2004, displays many varieties of unconventional and modern art. The exterior of the building itself is exciting as the shape of a UFO. Inside this museum, you will find amazing modern commissioned works that you can touch as well as see. Some of the art includes a green wall covered with real locally grown plants, spirals made of colored glass, and a swimming pool that gives people the illusion that they are standing at the bottom.
