Anish Kapoor’s colossal sculpture Temenos proudly looms over the north-eastern corner of Middlesbrough Dock in Middlehaven, like a giant alien antenna tuning into the cosmic vibes of Teesside.
Standing at a staggering 110 meters in length and nearly 50 meters tall, this metallic marvel is hard to miss—especially when you learn it came with a jaw-dropping price tag of £2.7 million. That’s enough cash to buy every resident of Middlesbrough a lifetime supply of parmos, but instead, we’ve got this dazzling monument to modern art. It’s part engineering feat, part artistic statement, and possibly a secret portal to another dimension.
