FLATIRON, Manhattan (WABC) — A new art installation in New York City is transporting viewers more than 3,000 miles away to Dublin, Ireland.

It was unveiled Wednesday morning at the Flatiron South Public Plaza, next to the famed Flatiron Building.

The installation, called “The Portal,” features two identical sculptures with a visual live stream connecting the two cities.

Visitors can watch and interact with each other.

There will be a series of kickoff events at both locations for an exchange of culture and entertainment.

The portals will remain open through the fall.
