The British Museum's Great Court is a 2 acre public courtyard covered by a massive steel and glass roof. The 527 tons (478 tonnes) of steel and 347 tons (315 tonnes) of glass took just under one year to install. Completed in 2000, the "Queen Elizabeth II Great Court" is now the largest covered public square in Europe.
