A huge spider sculpture outside the NSW Art Gallery

That's a little scary and it's so big! Very cool sculpture.

@jamibann it certainly is

[Olwynne]

Great pov but the thought of a spider that big sent shivers down my spine

[Jacqueline]

Great statue!

[Babs]

Looks scary.

[Kathy]

Yeow! I thought spider when I first saw it. Does it have an egg sac?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

To each his own I guess- wouldn't want that one on my front lawn. (o:

[Kathy A]

@randystreat it sure does have an egg sac

[Issi Bannerman]

@kjarn Her spiders are quite distinctive. :-)

[Kathy A]

@jamibann she has an amazing underground exhibition here at our art gallery at the moment

[Boxplayer]

Have never actually managed to see this (or are there several?) in real life, good viewpoint

[Kathy A]

@boxplayer apparently there are many all over the world, all different sizes. This is the biggest, titled Maman, and it is permanently in your Tate Modern and in Canada, Spain, Tokyo, Arkansas US and Dubai. The original, in Tate Modern, is made of steel and the rest are cast in bronze. There is one touring Maman spider and we have it here up until April.
