Olafur Eliasson's The New York City Waterfalls brings nature into the urban cityscape and adds a striking element to New York City's iconic skyline. See the four man-made waterfalls, each 90 to 120 feet tall (roughly as high as the Statue of Liberty), while onboard a luxurious yacht enjoying drinks and hors d'oeuvres with friends and fellow alumni. Olafur Eliasson is considered one of his generation's most influential artists, and throughout his career, he has taken inspiration from natural elements and phenomena, such as light, wind, fog and water to create sculpture and installations that evoke sensory experiences. CAAL and Circle line bring you an official boat tour with an audio introduction by the internationally acclaimed artist followed by a Happy Hour party exclusively for Columbia alumni. 

"A triumph of human imagination and mechanical engineering," –Mayor Michael Bloomberg
