Steel Helix
This galvanized steel sculpture of the DNA double helix graces the courtyard of the Centre for Life in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In addition to being an educational facility, Britain's National Health Service also carries out genetic testing and research here, so there's a connection with genetics. Additionally, one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, James Watson, is the Centre's patron.
It's not 100% apparent in this view but this is a double helix. The span isn't long enough, however, to see both a major and minor groove.
