"Kelowna Centennial Time Capsule" 
Located in the Apple Court of Orchard Park Shopping Centre. More photos.

Geert Maas has been commissioned this major artwork standing over 3.60 meters (12 feet) tall to celebrate Kelowna's centennial year. 
The sculpture represents an apple, bronze and stainless steel, sliced and some sections protruding. The bronze apple is finished in different patinas and has a stainless steel stem, sitting atop a brushed stainless steel column holding two containers with artifacts. The apple is divided into several surfaces, planes and colours to reflect the rich diversity of the people of Kelowna.

The top container will be opened in 2105, one hundred years after being sealed. The bottom container will be opened in 2030.

Through a partnership with the City of Kelowna and the Kelowna Museum, this sculpture was made possible by Orchard Park Shopping Centre as a gift to the city's present and future generations. Orchard Park is the home of the Kelowna Centennial Time Capsule.

Available for purchase:  "Apple" maquettes of the Kelowna Centennial Time Capsule.
