Now on display at the Arlington Museum of Art is the "Whatamum." The mum is 18 ft tall and 6 ft wide, it also has over 300 ft of ribbon, 1,250 flower heads, 50 drink cups, 100 fry containers, and 80 bracelets and keychains.

The exhibit is titled MUMENTOUS: The Upsizing of a Texas Tradition by Amy J. Schultz. This is the first exhibit for the new artist-in-residency program at the Arlington Museum of Art.

You can see the massive mum October 4-19. Tickets are only $10 for adults and $5 for children, seniors, and students. If you're interested in creating your own Whataburger mum you can DIY following these steps.
