The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a new exhibit featuring audience participation. The exhibit, entitled the 'Big Bambu' by designers Mike and Doug Starn is a crested wave of bamboo which the visitors are able to walk through via elevated internal pathways. The bamboo wave is set to measure 50 feet and is placed on the roof of the MET overlooking central park.
The coolest thing about the bamboo exhibit? The Big Bambu structure was created entirely by hand with no scaffolding.
