Outdoor Sculptures
Outdoor sculptures are a common addition in urban space. These sculptures are accessible to everyone as opposed to works displayed within the walls of museums or galleries. Outdoor sculptures sometimes become one of the city’s symbols, such as the "Make Way for Ducklings" statue located in the Boston Public Park
