Tate Modern Slide

The Turbine Hall in the Tate Modern, where as the name suggests the power turbines were once located, is now a huge void reserved for massive art installations. On a vist early last year, I saw Embankment - that installation made the hall look like a giant sugar bowl. Late last year, and until April this year, the hall was host to three giant slides (pictured at right) by Carsten Holler. The slides were really exhilirating. I found a YouTube video of the ride from Level 5. The Tate Modern site has more information about the installation.
