Cathedral of Thorns
This surreal, building-sized art installation was painstakingly (and literally) created out of some 30 million thorns over a five-year period by award-winning artist Herman van Bergen. Each section is dedicated to a world religion; the nooks and crannies contain a rotating series of art objects by guest artists. It’s on the grounds of Landhuis Bloemhof (a museum, art gallery, and historic plantation), and is an incredible sight when illuminated at night. It's free to visit at night the first Friday of each month at 7:30 pm. Wear sturdy shoes---errant thorns can pierce your flip-flops!
