Modern carillon
These are two examples of modern carillon; the minimalist Berlin carillon and the Naperville carillon in Illinois. The Naperville carillon is taller than than the Statue of Liberty and has an open internal staircase which gives visitors access to the 72 bells. The largest bell 'Big Joe' weighs over 20 tons.
