The Room of a Million Dots
What if you were allowed to stick stickers all over your living room walls, the sofa, and even the TV? That is exactly what happens in Yayoi Kusama's "Obliteration Room." At first, the whole room is painted perfectly white. But then, thousands of visitors are given sheets of bright, colorful polka dot stickers. By the time they are finished, the whole room has "disappeared" under a rainbow of dots! It is a beautiful mess where everything from the ceiling to the floor is hidden under a mountain of stickers.

Big Kids
One child spent the whole afternoon sticking 187 polka dots onto a white piano. If we round the number of dots to the nearest ten, how many dots is that?
