Is Kafka Rotating Head (Černý) worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, it depends on the day.

A mesmerising bit of kinetic public art — the face fragments, scrambles and re-forms on a loop, free to watch outside a shopping centre. The catch: it's beside a mall in a charm-free modern plaza, the 'show' is the same short cycle on repeat, and it's a ten-minute novelty rather than a destination. Great quick hit for the design-minded.
