A six-story skyscraper built entirely of Meccano has been constructed in New York City.
Artist Chris Burden built the structure from over one million pieces of the popular toy, and it sits in the company of New York's other - bigger - skyscrapers at the Fifth Avenue entrance to the Channel Gardens.

Meccano is like the old Erector Sets from decades past, but a bit more stylish.
Very cool work by the artist.
