An intricate, mixed-media sculpture, titled "Scrap Metal Tuna" by Chris Cole of Bend, Oregon, is displayed on a wooden shelf in what appears to be a museum or exhibition space. The sculpture, crafted primarily from recycled metal, including bicycle parts, depicts a stylized, aggressive-looking deep-sea fish or mechanical creature. Its body is constructed from riveted metal plates and bicycle chain segments forming the tail, with multiple sharp metallic fins. The head features prominent, aggressive-looking fins and a large eye-like element, with internal red illumination glowing through gaps and vents. A small, white plastic skeletal figure is positioned atop the sculpture's back, leaning forward as if piloting it. To the right of the sculpture, two small toggle switches are visible on the wooden base, indicating an interactive element that allows the fish to open its mouth and wave its fins. A white informational sign in front of the sculpture provides details in both English and Dutch. The background is a dark, recessed space illuminated by a red light source from above. Below the display shelf, on a lower wooden shelf, a framed black-and-white photograph of a group of people and two old, brown leather boxing gloves hanging by their laces are partially visible. A brown leather upholstered object is on the far left. The location is the **NEMO Science Museum** in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where this specific artwork by Chris Cole has been exhibited.
