Possibly the world香蕉视频直播檚 largest sculptured acoustic anvil 香蕉视频直播� still to be decided by Guinness World Records 香蕉视频直播� has found its new home outside the BC Farm Museum located in Fort Langley.
On Wednesday, March 13, George Third and Son employees delivered the anvil and carefully placed it outside the museum just beside the sign.
Syd Pickerell, member and volunteer of the museum, shared his gratitude with Rob Third, son of George, for organizing the delivery.
Moving the anvil was a spontaneous decision made last June, Pickerell said, when it had come up and Rob offered it to the museum.

The anvil is hollow and made of steel, a solar panel, and some electrical components. When working, the anvil emits the faint sound of the ocean through the spiral sound hole.
It was designed by artist Maskull Lasserre in 2018 as part of an art display for Vancouver Biennale, which it resided in False Creek for two years before it was brought to Burnaby.
The anvil stands 25 feet long, 13 tall, and nine wide.
Lasserre titled the piece Acoustic Anvil: A Small Weight to Forge the Sea to represent the physical convergence of both real and imagined histories.

Pickerell explained the anvil is also a symbol of early pioneer life, when everything was made on an anvil before welders, and said it fits in well at the farm museum.
香蕉视频直播淭his anvil is a welcoming symbol out in front of our farm museum. We香蕉视频直播檝e applied to Guinness World Records to classify it as 香蕉视频直播榃orld香蕉视频直播檚 Largest Sculptured Anvil香蕉视频直播� and we hope lots of people come by to have their photo taken with it,香蕉视频直播� he said.
Volunteers of the museum will begin sandblasting the anvil before painting it black. Pickerell said they will also install a plaque with some information on it and credit to the artist.
Pickerell and other volunteers thanked the nearby construction company for their donation of concrete to create the slab which the anvil rests on.
The BC Farm Museum is closed for the season, but will re-open on Monday, April 1, for its regular business hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
