For the past few years, the roof garden of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has supported major, site-specific art installations. The sweeping rooftop perched above Manhattan's 5th Avenue has previously seen works by Pierre Huyghe, Dan Graham, and Tomas Saraceno, among other. This summer, a full-scale replica of the famous Bates Mansion from Alfred Hitchcock's classic film Psycho will serve as the background of many a selfie (and hopefully achieve a bit more too).
A project by the artist Cornelia Parker, Transitional Object (PsychoBarn) also marks one of the first major achievements of Beatrice Galilee since becoming the Met's first-ever curator of architecture.

Wait, this is an architecture curator? Super lame
So that all-important Bates basement would be... dangling from the ceiling at the Met's top floor?
