Reply to comment by BigBarnOwl in TIL about the Zeitpyramide, a pyramid whose construction will take 1,160 years spanning once-a-decade installations, with one scheduled for 2023. by ColorUserPro

As the article says:

“Artist Manfred Laber wanted to honor the 1200th birthday of the town of Wemding in the southern German state of Bavaria.” “The project is an interesting symbol of several intersecting ideas. Can you guarantee future generations will comply with very long-term plans? How will the large concrete bricks hold up to a millennium of weather and beyond?”

The project will last as long as it’s being funded. Hope he invested in whatever currency we’ll be using in a thousand years.

The money will probably sit in a fund of diversefied assets so currency won't be a problem.
