The Game Of The Golden Throne
Art lovers have two more weeks to sit and ponder the meaning of 'America', the name given to a 18-carat gold toilet that has been on display at New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum for nearly a year.
More than 100,000 people have paid visit to Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's exhibit, located in what looks like a typical bathroom on the museum's fifth floor.
'America' encourages unusually close interaction for art, and is meant to remind viewers of their 'shared humanity' in the pursuit of the American dream of success, the Guggenheim says on its website.
Here's a closer look at the golden throne and the White Walkers don't want to sit on this!
