This crazy-cool giant shuttlecock (or birdie) comes to us via a friend of Lynne’s. You can find it at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Missouri!
Now we need a giant racket and net! 🙂
links of interest:
– The Nelson-Atkins Museum’s shuttlecock page– Where and when was Badminton invented?
– More info than you probably need to know about shuttlecocks
What a cool angle for a picture! It sure looks enormous. I wonder whether it’s real? Looks too good to be real. Do you think it could be photoshopped?
Nope, Ana . . . it’s real 🙂 It’s a sculpture at the Nelson-Atkins Museum (see link in post for some other views)
Wow the balance is amazing, really cool work!
