The bra is located in a fenced-in area, so make sure you go when they are open. An employee was nice enough to take the picture.

The bra was sculpted by Peter John Larson and displayed on the local University of North Dakota campus to protest lack of government "support" for the arts. An administrator decided that the red-white-and-blue brassiere was offensive and had it removed. But it seemed a shame to waste such an eye-catching sculpture, so it was repainted pink and repurposed as a Breast Cancer Awareness bra.
