Come see what crawled up in Southcentre Mall
What: In collaboration with Beakerhead, there is now a 16-ft-tall dung beetle sculpture in the middle of the Inner Circle. The sculpture was created by Alberta native Max Streicher and encourages visitors to interact with the piece as art, science, and engineering fuse together. This is an exciting sneak peek of what Beakerhead has in store for this year.
When: Until September 14
Time: Regular mall hours
Where: Southcentre Mall, The Inner Circle – 100 Anderson Road SE
