Big Sweep

Big Sweep is a monumental sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, installed outside the Denver Art Museum since 2006. It depicts an oversized broom and dustpan, transforming everyday cleaning tools into whimsical public art. Visitors can view this playful piece up close, photograph its clever scale and detail, and appreciate how it reimagines common objects. As an outdoor installation, it's freely accessible and adds a touch of surprise to the museum plaza.
