Hon - en katedral was an exposition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm that ran from June 4 to September 9 1966. The piece was collaboration of Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely and Per Olov Ultvedt. Over 100,000 people walked into the museum through an opening in the vagina of a six-ton, 27-metre-long (89 feet) polyester female figure, named hon (the swedish pronoun, 'she'). The most famous of her many nanas, it was a critical sensation.
The sculpture was later used in the film Femina ridens, which added the effect of vagina dentata.
