Title: King Kong statue
Description: A statue of King Kong by Nicholas Monro was commissioned in 1972 for display in Manzoni Gardens in The Bull Ring, in the centre of Birmingham, England. It was later displayed elsewhere in Birmingham, then in Edinburgh, and is now in Penrith. It can be seen on occasion if travelling on the main rail link from Scotland to NW England on the left hand side. The Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol had a maquette. That is in Wolverhampton Art Gallery as of August 2011.[citation needed]
