Some of Pomodoro's "Sphere Within Sphere" (Sfera con Sfera) can be seen in the Vatican Museums, Trinity College, Dublin, the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., and the University of California, Berkeley.

Huh, cgf, you did good! I always thought that it was just "art" (i.e., like Jen, I didn't know what the heck it was, so it must be "art" ;-) )...

Hi Bill
There are more than that Pomodoro's spheres around the world... The first one it has been not at the United Nations Headquarters in New York (like wrote on wikipedia somewhere else) but in Pesaro (Italy)
