The Wind Wand is a 48-metre kinetic sculpture located in New Plymouth New Zealand. The sculpture includes a 45-metre tube of red fibreglass and was made to designs by artist Len Lye. To residents it is one of the main icons of New Plymouth. Originally installed in December 1999 along with the Coastal Walkway it had to be taken down within weeks. After repairs it was reinstalled in June 2001. The red fibreglass tube stands vertical in still air but bends in the wind.
