This is the Goseck circle, a neolithic structure in Goseck, Germany. It was used as calendar. Originally, it consisted of four concentric circles – a mound, a ditch and two wooden palisades about the height of a person.

Let's revive this thread!

Once again, for new members, the objective is to identify the object in the picture, and tell where its located, along with any other questions asked.

Where is this building located? When was it inaugurated and by whom?

Correct so far... But my extra question was who inaugurated it and when, not who designed it. Have another go.

 

[AdmiralAdama]

The museum was inaugurated on 18 October 1997 by King Juan Carlos.

Correct. Challenge passes to you.

Identify the building in the background as well as its geographic location and tell us about the 'spider' in the foreground. Looking for the creator and what motivated him / her. Note a similar spider is in front of the Guggenheim in Bilboa, featured in previous challenge.

It's the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.

The sculpture is called "Maman", the artist Louise Bourgeois created it . The title is the French word for "mother".

It's thought to be an ode to the artist's mother.

Here's a different picture from Wikipedia:
