Have lived in charlotte for years. Saw this online as an attraction. The downside is that it wasn't moving...but it's very impressive, as is. Kids and adults will enjoy. Sunday is a good time to see it...I was the only one there so I got to take as many shot as possible, by myself. I recommmend this to all. Just... More

We just got back from Charlotte NC last week and I heard about this water fountain from TripAdvisor (Thanks so much for everyone who writes such helpful reviews!). It is relatively close to the airport in a commercial building area called Whitehall Technology Park. Love the stainless steel mirror finish of the fountain - it's very unique. Now, the downfall?!!... More

I read about this in a Tripadvisor review. I have lived here in Charlotte for years and have never heard about it. This is in a business park so we went on the weekend. Hardly any cars in the parking lot. The sculpture sits in a fountain which is surrounded by a beautiful plaza. A very peaceful spot. This business... More

Metalmorphosis is a stainless steel giant sculpture water fountain. Its movement is controlled by computerized programming. The giant face moves in bits and pieces and regain its original shape after regular time interval. The whole structure spins very fast and then keeps the viewer spellbound till it gets to the shape of human face. Amazing view . Worth watching and... More

This beautiful metallic, kinetic sculpture is very impressive. It's a bit of a ways out of the way, but if you have a car it's worth the trip to get a good look at it. More

Interesting. Free. What could be better! This is a different take from art. With the moving parts, it is a must see. More

Metalmorphosis is a unique stainless steel sculpture of a giant head by Czech Artist David Cerny. The piece is about 25 ft tall, weighing approximately 14 tons, has seven layers that rotate in various patterns, forming and reforming the Giant Head, apparently controlled by the artist from his computer in the Czech Republic. It was unveiled in 2007. The statue... More
