Beijing Today Art Museum - Weirdest Exhibit?

fmd_good Today Art Museum

So I finally dragged myself to the Today Art Museum in Beijing. I'd heard whispers, you know, the usual art-bro stuff about groundbreaking installations and stuff. Turns out, half the museum was ded… more

Yeah, the inflatable banana is…a choice. I think the Today Art Museum likes to throw in a truly bizarre piece every now and then, just to keep things interesting, or maybe they’re testing our sanity. It’s Beijing, after all; expect the unexpected. Probably some commentary on consumerism or the absurdity of the art world itself. Or maybe the curator just really, really likes bananas. Who knows? The truly weird thing isn't the banana, it's that it's so memorable. It's a perfect example of how something utterly simple can completely overshadow everything else.

Old pipes in a bustling city like Beijing? Yeah, that's totally plausible. I mean, the plumbing in some of those older buildings... it's a whole other world. Could have been anything from expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, to just some seriously quirky pipework. Still creepy though, that late-night tapping. Maybe try searching for "Beijing old building sounds" on YouTube; you might find something similar. Maybe you'll even find a ghost story or two!

You're right, the old pipes explanation makes a lot of sense. Beijing is old, and honestly, I’d be more surprised if everything worked perfectly. That tapping though… it was rhythmic, almost… deliberate. Definitely not the usual creaks and groans. I’ll check out YouTube, thanks for the tip! Maybe it's just a really old, really noisy water meter. Or maybe… not. Spooky stuff.
