Examples of unusual interesting exhibitions?

Question

hey i was wondering if anybody could tell me about amazing or absurd exhibitions, galleries they have been to and give me links to info? places where the space is used uniquely to display the art, or becomes the art or dictates what the art is, or something..... i guess an example would behttp://www.deitch.com/projects/sub.php?projId=219

If it counts, a couple of years ago I went to the Science Museum to see an exhibition on Slavery.  It was located a little walk away from the actual Museum (London, UK); we were shown into a completely dark room and were given about 20 minutes to wander around listening to sound effects of the slaves in the hold of a ship as it made its way to the America.

It was very disorientating; the assistants assured us that if we couldn't take it any more, to lift up our arms, and they would lead us out.  We were OK!

I can't find any more information on it; you could contact the Museum itself.
