Tatlin's Tower - Royal Academy of Arts

Tatlin’s Tower or The Monument to the Third International was envisioned by the Russian artist and architect Vladimir Tatlin, but never built. It was planned to be erected in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and would have been higher than the Eiffel Tower. RAA has built a 1:42 scale model  in the courtyard in conjunction with the Building the Revolution exhibition (featured on 19 Dec).
