Before walking into the Kunsthaus Zürich, look straight up and you'll see this huge mobile hanging outside the musuem's entrance at Heimplatz. No idea who the arist is--will have to look into that. There is a museum cafe with outdoor seating directly below the mobile, and it is somewhat disconcerting to sit underneath it as it sways over your head casting shadows on your table!

That is an attractive mobile. I like it and your photo of it.
I have posted pictures of a tufted duck or what I thought was a tufted duck...
Interesting! I've only ever seen tiny ones you hang over the baby's cot.
Alexander Calder really invented the mobile as an art form. I know he had some connections with Switzerland and Ute Barth lists the Kunsthaus as having works - so maybe this is one!

I have posted a photo of the missing UK girl Madeleine in the hope that the more people see her, the more chance she may be found. Please take a sec to pop over to Cheltenham, to put her face in your head. Thanks to you and your readers.
I second Richard. Calder is who came to mind when I saw the thumbnail. All his mobiles that I've seen remind me of bird skeletons. Ok, maybe just the one at the National Gallery of Art in DC...
Link to a photo of the one at the NGA (I've entered a line break):
