'Skywhale' Launches In Canberra

CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA - MAY 11: The "Skywhale" hot air balloon sculpture by Canberra artist Patricia Piccinini is inspected by the public as it's tethered near the National Museum from its maiden flight over Canberra, on May 11, 2013 in Canberra, Australia. The balloon is twice the size of a standard hot air balloon and weighs half of a tonne. Commissioned by the Centenary of Canberra, the balloon will feature as part of the 'Sculpture: Space and Place' symposiam at the gallery and will travel to Tasmania and Melbourne later in the year.
