While it took 35 years to complete the original magical and mysterious Stonehenge, it only takes a few minutes to set up this bouncy Stonehenge design by Jeremy Deller. All you need is enough space, an air compressor and a bit of patience to rebuild one of Britain's greatest mysteries.
British artist Deller created the 20-foot-high inflatable to commemorate the Olympic Games, and also to show Britain's good sense of humor. He designed his modern version of Stonehenge to look like the prehistoric monoliths as much as possible.
The bouncy Stonehenge, called Sacrilege, was launched at Glasgow Green as part of the 18-day Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts where it is one of the festival highlights. After the festival, the bouncy castle is going on a tour through Britain.
