Science World in Vancouver likes to put its money where its mouth is. To dramatize the scientific fact that 20 ounces of gold can be pounded so thin it covers more than 200 square feet, they had Vancouver-based Rethink develop a billboard for them completely wrapped in 22-karat gold. It’s all part of Science World’s summer exhibit ‘Treasure!’ Unlike most treasure…or at least the treasure in Indiana Jones movies…this one does not come with booby traps. It does however, come with its own security guard.
