Christopher Columbus gets "Discovered"

Discovering Columbus, a new skyscraping exhibition by Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi, is open for visitors, and poised to be the talk of the city for months.

Nishi and the Public Art Fund have built a fully decorated living room — six stories up — around that very famous marble likeness of Christopher Columbus that sits in his namesake Circle.

The controversial exhibit opened on Thursday, September 20 and runs through Saturday, November 18
at Columbus Circle.
