Enter the Kelvingrove museum in Glasgow and the first thing you'll notice is Sophie Cave's 'Floating Heads'. I don't know how you could notice anything else honestly.

The [multitude of expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) on the faces of Sophie Cave's 'Floating Heads' only enhances the creepiness/uniqueness of the exhibit. It looks like I need a one-way ticket to Glasgow to check out this [epic museum entrance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unnatural-history-museum-of-singapore) right now. Heads are going to metaphorically roll if I miss this.
