Faux Swimming Pool

No need to haul your top of the line snorkel gear here. Actually, don't even bring your swim suit (unless you are incredibly comfortable with your figure) because this swimming pool is not really a swimming pool at all. At least not in the conventional sense. Argentinian artist, Leandro Erlich created an installation, called The Swimming Pool, for The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. He created the pool by placing two clear, acrylic glass layers on the pool's surface and then filled the space in between the pieces of glass with water, creating an incredibly realistic effect. (P.S- for a little extra safety tip, I would not condone any form of fancy diving in this artsy swimming establishment.)
