Niki de Saint Phalle: "Hon - en katedral" ("She - A Cathedral"), 25 x 9m, 1966, Moderna Museet Stockholm

Considered shocking at the time, I love how cheeky and filled with joy it is. Inside were a gallery, a planetarium +++

It's a massive piece, built to be interacted with (and climbed) by the audience. The film documentation makes it clear how ambitious it was.

Full list of things found inside:

"..a love-seat sofa, a planetarium, a gallery with “fake” artworks, a 12-seat cinema, an aquarium, a milk-bar inside a breast, a fish pond, a coin telephone, a sandwich vending machine, a brain with mechanical parts (by Jean Tinguely), an art installation by Ultvedt, a playground slide for the children and an early Greta Garbo film.."
