About

Explore an unexpected public art installation in Weston-super-Mare, created from a former North Sea offshore platform. 

SEE MONSTER will rehabilitate and reimagine a decommissioned North Sea offshore platform in Weston-super-Mare, transforming the retired industrial structure into one of the UK’s largest public art installations.

The transformation of the platform is a world-first that aims to inspire global conversations about the repurposing of large industrial structures and design-led solutions to sustainable futures.

The entire construction will be 35m tall - 15m taller than the Angel of the North and just 11m shy of Nelson’s Column.

Visitors and residents to Weston-super-Mare will witness the transformation of SEE MONSTER, commissioned as part of UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK, as construction takes place over the summer. Once the installation is completed, SEE MONSTER will be experienced from the seafront, beach and on board. It will feature four publicly accessible levels animated by a 10-metre-high waterfall; a 6,000-piece kinetic installation forming the monster’s shimmering scales; an onboard oasis of grasses, plants and trees selected to thrive in a seaside microclimate; and a seated amphitheatre and broadcast studio, forming a platform for conversations about reuse and sustainable futures.
