I recently came across this article on a five ton spinning sculpture being spun by a five year old.
http://sonoma.towns.pressdemocrat.com/2011/05/news/spinning-a-5-ton-boulder-is-childs-play/I thought about another sculpture in my hometown that also spins and I did a little research and I shot a video of it.
The sculpture is called "Endover" and is located on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. It stands 15 feet tall and weighs 2400 pounds. It was the creation of Tony Rosenthal, an alumni, and installed in 1968. I always enjoy giving it a spin whenever I pass it which is often. So do lots of other folks as you will see here.

It turns out Rosenthal created a total of 5 giant "cubes" which remind me of a lot of Don Olney's cube finger top.
http://www.tonyrosenthal.com/OutdoorCubes.htmThe one is located in Astor Place, in the Bowery of New York, is called "Alamo". It was the subject of a prank in June 2003, played by the ATF squad (All Too Flat) in which it was turned into a giant Rubik's Cube.
