I think at one time that exhibit was open-air and that people could touch it... now it's enclosed in glass and supposedly enviromentally sealed. It looks like it hasn`t been cleaned in ages, I wonder what`ll happen if they eventually decide to get rid of it?

It would probably find a home somewhere else. Calder works are pretty popular, and if they ever wanted to get rid of it (unlikely), I'm sure there are museums in France, Spain, and the U.S. that'd love to take it (transportation would probably involve draining and disassembly).

Am I the only one who'd like to see another installation just like this one only using a grade school drinking fountain instead of dome lame artsy farts kinematic sculpture?

Mmmmm. Cool refreshing mercury.
