Floralis Generica is a modern art exhibit in downtown Buenos Aires that comes to life every day at sunrise and sunset. This giant metal flower was built in 2002 next to the National Museum of Fine Art, and every morning and evening the metal petals of the flower slowly open and close in response to sunlight, just like a flower in the wild. When the petals are completely extended Floralis Generica stands more than 75 feet tall and 100 feet wide. At night, after the petals have closed, the flower glows red over a reflecting pool.
