Odd discs, or portions thereof, attached to the outside of the museum make up this sculpture that is over three metres tall and about 7 metres wide. You could more easily miss it now that 25 years ago when I first saw it. It was as interesting then as it is now and worth the time to look at it.

The sculpture is located on the west wall of the Nickle Arts Museum which houses the bulk of The University of Calgary's permanent art collection as well as its Numismatics collection.
