Dutch artist Joep Van Lieshout has created a unique work of art that you can stay in...if your heart desires.
His giant human intestine sculpture (yes, intestine), located in Belgium, sits in the middle of a field commissioned as part of the Verbeke Foundation Sculpture Park, which hosts over 20,000 visitors annually and is owned by art collectors Geert and Carla Verbeke-Lens.
The owners say the exhibition space is not meant to be an "oasis."

The Anus Hotel
Verbeke Foundation's playful naming comes from the Spanish "casa" (house in English), and Anus - which I'm sure needs no further explanation.
The artist's group intentions are clear. Breaking taboos and questioning everything is one of the most important movements of the 21st century.

So who says you cannot design and build a giant intestine house ending in a blushingly detailed anus?

The entrance to CasAnus is through regular doors. Too bad they missed the opportunity to use the ending as the main opening!

Inside, it's all nice and cozy. If you didn't know what the exterior looks like, it could be a cave house in Cappadocia.

The interior is bright white, complete with windows and tubular, curved walls to make travelers feel like they are sleeping inside a highly vital part of the human digestive system.

But fear not, as breakfast is included, you won't go hungry in these parts!


Unlike most large intestines (like those typically found in human bodies), this one features a double bed, shower, and central heating.

The room's exterior has even been sculpted with bulging veins and painted a deep red to make it look all the more realistic.
