A free interactive art exhibit featuring eight massive spinning tops has arrived at Short Pump Town Center, giving families a chance to experience a piece of Mexican culture through the end of summer.

Los Trompos — Spanish for spinning tops — opened Saturday and will remain on display through July 12. The installation features eight large three-dimensional tops created by Hispanic artists. Visitors can climb inside to sit and relax or work together with others to spin the tops on their bases.

Michel Zajur, president and founder of the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said events like Los Trompos play an important role in enriching the broader Richmond community.
