Knoxville, Tennessee -
World's Largest Rubik's Cube

It took a little searching for us to find the building; lucky for us a random passer-by directed us. There may have been a sign that said "do not touch," but I just couldn't help myself. All 3 rows turned. I loved the fact that this was a gift from a World's Fair. [Danielle, 09/28/2011]

We visited the Rubik's Cube thinking it might no longer be there, but it was there! It was turned weird, and didn't make any attractive design, and it wasn't plugged in or anything and therefore just stood stationary. There was a neat little plaque by it describing the reason of it. Very neat and very easy to find! We just went into the Holiday Inn and asked the person at the desk about it, and he showed us the way. [Ricks, 03/20/2010]

Early April 2009 we saw the dismantled center of the Rubik's Cube being loaded onto the back of a pickup truck from in front of the Holiday Inn restaurant to destination unknown. [Tabitha, 04/14/2009]

I saw the cube yesterday, and as described it's at the top of the escalators connecting to the Holiday Inn. Unfortunately it was not moving when I saw it, and there was no one around to ask if it still worked or could be turned on. [Joel K., 03/23/2009]

The World's Largest Rubik's Cube is back! It was just recently moved into the Knoxville Convention and Exhibition Center (not to be confused with the Knoxville Convention Center). The cube was a gift from the Hungarian government for the 1982 World's Fair. [Danny Martin, 07/27/2007]

[RA: The motorized, ever-changing Cube is ten feet tall and weighs 1,200 pounds. It was left to rot for 25 years, but in 2007 (the 25th anniversary of the Knoxville World's Fair) it was restored by Brittnee Robinson, a junior in electrical engineering and chairwoman of the Institute for Electronic and Electrical Engineers at the University of Tennessee.]
