“Visit ICEBERGS in the Museum’s Great Hall. Designed by James Corner Field Operations, the installation opens as part of the annual Summer Block Party series, July 2 – September 5.
Visitors will:
- Explore a fantastical glacial sea designed by landscape architects
- Ascend to a viewing area inside the tallest berg
- Traverse an undersea bridge or slide down an ice chute
- Sample Japanese kakigori shaved ice provided by the restaurant Daikaya
- Learn about how design can transform spaces and lives
ICEBERGS is built from re-usable construction materials, such as scaffolding and polycarbonate paneling, a material commonly used in building greenhouses. The 20′ high “water line” allows panoramic views from high above the ocean surface and down below among the towering bergs.
