TL;DR Summary

A second, smaller Eiffel Tower has been installed next to the famous landmark in Paris by French artist Philippe Maindron. The tower, named 'Eifella', is about one-tenth the size of the original and was created to coincide with the famous monument's 134th birthday. Despite the theatrics, complete with baby cries and a lullaby, and its unveiling on April 1, this is no prank. The tower is made from nearly 4,000 larger pieces and 9,000 smaller metallic ones. While the tower is only on display in Paris for another week, until April 10, there are estimated to be about 80 replicas of the Eiffel Tower around the world, including in Las Vegas, Tokyo, Mexico, and Canada.
