Interesting roadside attraction right downtown. Of course made of Vermont granite!
Its a beautiful Landmark for your children to see what the state can build....
This was a really cool pitstop! The zipper is between two large brick buildings; when you get there you can part on the sides of the street. Looking for the stone sofa helped me find it (sits to the left of it).
Who wouldnt love artwork in the form of a huge zipper, made from local granite? The artistry is this state is unbelievable. I believe we have some of the best Craftsman around and we do love 2 generate $ for our local artists. Vermont First!
Not the largest zipper. For a thing to be a zipper, it has to be able to zip, or formerly have been able to zip, or perhaps be able to zip in the future. This cannot does not fall into any of those categories. It may be North America’s largest depiction of a zipper made of rocks, but it is not in fact, an actual zipper. It is in fact quite zipper-looking though, so I give it two stars. Would that art were actually so, but alas, in these interminable days where beauty is esteemed and recognized as little as prudence or wisdom, what ought one expect? Considering that, this is pretty good.
Was it necessary to have created the largest granite zipper in North America? What is the purpose? What is the second largest zipper in North America? The largest zipper in the world?Nonsense.This is no more or less Art than a double cheeseburger from McDonalds.Novelty.Kitsch.Glut.Public officials/Business owner self aggrandizement.Barre should have commissioned the worlds largest public urinal. That would be interesting and more appropriate sitting next to Studio Place Arts.Keep driving and visit something else.
Love barres granite art. Beautiful stuff!
Out the SPA and an easy chair.
Nice open space to see on the way in the market place.
Best place to go for great service and good prices !
I love the largest zipper in the world. It Rocks!Get it?
I havent been there, but I am going to go there in an hour, will report back then. (Hour later) yep its large and zipper shaped. Five stars!
Made out of the most popular and abundant building material in Barre Vermont...GRANITE... kinda cool...kinda......fun fact 112 teeth make up the zipper!
Just ignore the self-aggrandizing name. This is actually a nice piece of public art that is worth checking out if youre visiting Barre. Stop by, take photos, and then carry on with your day.
Listen. i’m a little disappointed by this, mostly because i thought it was gonna be a) metal, b) more upright, and c) just bigger. ngl it’s pretty long but the zipper head itself—as in, the most iconic part of the zipper, is no bigger than a pair of folded dungarees! well ok then. would recommend driving a bit further to ben and jerry’s in waterbury and grabbin some ice cream to go tbh. the hoodies in their gift shop have zippers too, and those boys are metal and functioning. smh
Very large, much recommended
Artwork is always good.
This is a nice attraction if you have a full day - you can really zip in a zip out.
Go granite . Part of the Barre granite tour! Fun.
What a waste of time and attention. I hear zipper and I think, “Oooh a METAL zipper.” Nope nope nope. Bamboozled.
This zipper was amazing! Tucked in between two buildings, it is truly a sight to see!
Wow this was a big zipper.
Amazing artwork all carved from Barre Granite
Hard to find but fun to see it!
I see this everyday when I walk to the bus
A must for any fan of the worlds largest.
Fun
Pretty cool
Awesome
Boring
