Cleveland's newest public art installation is a 15,000-pound, intricate wooden structure you can walk through at Canal Basin Park.

State of play: "Centrum Kolossio" is a 2,500-square-foot installation featuring four interconnected rooms and community porches designed as a gathering and performance space.

Zoom in: The piece was designed by Cleveland artist David Biro and built with his collective, Midnight Art Club, which spent nine months designing and fabricating it for Miami's Love Burn arts festival.

What they're saying: "Centrum is the inner temple structure surrounded by Kolossio, which represents the four ancient neighborhoods of Rome," a description reads at Canal Basin Park.

Stop by: The installation is free, open day and night, and runs through Sept. 13.
