	The Millennium Dome
		The Millennium Dome is an encouragement to both modern art and modern sensibilities; its inside will be dominated by a hollow 90 ft statue called The Body, depicting a ‘sensual, reclining woman appearing to cradle or comfort a half-man’, said by the designer to reflect women’s rise in power and improving gender politics.
		The Millennium Dome is a mastery of design and construction, with a floor area of nearly 20 acres (equivalent to two Wembley stadiums) and the height of Nelson’s Column.
		The Millennium Dome’s then PR office in July of 1999, asked the Church of England to pay £50,000 for the ‘honour’ of being the “preferred religious partner” of the Millennium Dome’s official souvenir brochure, and allegedly told them that, if they refused, the same offer would be made to other religious groups.
