About
What to Know
Dean Ruck's Big Bubble was designed in 1998 to release compressed air into Buffalo Bayou, creating an unexpected event visible from Preston Street Bridge. Its hidden-button concept made discovery part of the artwork. The city's current collection entry states that the work was damaged during Hurricane Harvey and has not operated since. Visit the location for its conceptual and historical story, not a promised live bubble effect. Do not encourage visitors to run into traffic or interfere with equipment.
