Facts and practical information

Elia is a sculpture created by Ingvar Cronhammar in Herning, Denmark. It is a large, spherical dome with four columns reaching 32 meters. The dome itself has a diameter of 60 meters. A large tube located in the center of the sculpture randomly blasts flames 8 meters into the air for about 25 seconds. These random bursts can occur anytime in periods of about two months and will not occur if it is too windy or if people are too close. The work was inaugurated in September 2001 and cost 23 million Danish krone. ()
