“Rubber Duck” is a huge inflatable sculpture of rubber duck floats into Hong Kong Harbour by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman…

The World's largest rubber duck was created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman in 2007, measuring 16.5 x 20 x 32 metres and weighing over 600 kg. Since 2007, several ducks of various sizes created by Hofman have been on display in countries and territories such as Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Lommel (Belgium), Osaka (Japan), Sydney (Australia), Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Hong Kong (China) until 9 June 2013. Then it will go on display in the United States.

Conception 

The creator of the giant rubber duck, Florentijn Hofman, tried to entertain the world by a tour named "Spreading joy around the world" established in 2007. He aimed to recall everyone's childhood memories by exhibiting the duck in 14 cities, starting in his own Amsterdam, Netherlands. The giant rubber duck was constructed with more than 200 pieces of PVC piping. There is an opening at the back of the body so that architecture/staff can perform body check to the rubber duck; as well as an electric fan that allows it to be inflated under various weather conditions.
