After looking across the stadium during a preseason Tennessee Titans game last year I noticed this funny shaped, rollercoaster look-a-like of a statue. This public art piece is called the “Ghost Ballet”. This statue is located on the east banks in downtown Nashville. From a distance it simply looks like a rollercoaster gone bad, but close up you will view the 100-foot long, 60-foot deep, 100-foot wide monster statue. Alice Aycock created this model and it was said that she wanted to design the sculpture to symbolize Nashville’s past and its modes of transportation. The lighting and bright lights really enhance and make the statue glow at night. This creation attracts many viewers and is a commonly known piece of public art in downtown Nashville. A MUST SEE!
