The art of the Park ✨ 🧑‍🎨 Central Park is home to dozens of statues and monuments throughout its 843 acres, and each one had its own unique journey to the Park! This year, we’re examining a few lesser-known artworks in a new series: The Story Behind the Statue. Our first highlight is King Jagiello, located on the east side of the Park at 79th Street overlooking Turtle Pond. Comment below to suggest the next statue we feature! | Central Park
