The Shark House consists of a 25ft long fibreglass and steel sculpture of a shark, formally titled "Untitled 1986", crashing through the roof of an otherwise average house on a quiet residential street in rural Oxford. The sculpture was created in secret, and erected without planning permission to the shock of many on 9th August 1986, starting what ended up being a six-year long battle to keep it. The sculpture represents an anti-war and anti-nuclear protest, and is also an act of defiance against government censorship through the planning laws. The Shark House is available for members of the public to rent on a short stay basis. Booking details can be found either by contacting us directly, or by using a third party, eg. https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/shark-house.en-gb.html
