A full-sized replica of Noah's Ark is being built in Dordrecht by John Huibers, the famous Dutch building contractor.

Huibers' ark is expected to be ready in May this year and will stay in Dordrecht until mid 2012 since he is visiting the Olympic Games in London just before traveling around the world.

Note that this is Huibers’ second ark; the first one - a half-sized replica - was finished within two years, back in 2007.
