Boy in Aros

Boy in Aros

The most famous artwork in the AROS Aarhus Art Museum in Denmark is probably Boy, 1999, by Ron Mueck. This oversized 500 kg but otherwise very realistic 4.5-meter tall sculpture of a boy squatting. The facial expression of the boy seems to change depending on the vantage point of the spectator – from fear and anger to a more naughty, playful smile when standing between his elbows.
