Maman (1999) is a bronze, stainless steel, and marble sculpture in several locations by the artist Louise Bourgeois. The sculpture, which depicts a spider, is among the world’s largest, measuring over 30 ft high and over 33 ft wide (927 x 891 x 1024 cm).[1] It includes a sac containing 32 marble eggs and its abdomen and thorax are made of rubbed bronze.
The original was created in steel, with an edition of six subsequent castings in bronze.
This edition is located at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain.

Man, I really hated that Pikmin boss.
On a serious note,an, that is impressively large.
I killed that thing in Half Life, getting flashbacks.
Isn’t there one in NOLA sculpture garden?
I don’t believe so?
Not listed on the wiki anyway.
I can’t find it listed either. Forgive the Dutch angle, but here’s a pic I took back in 2022 under the sculpture
It does exist https://noma.org/collection/spider/
