The installation features three groups of animals playing musical instruments. One depicts two stacked frogs; the one on bottom is walking on stilts and the one on top is playing the concertina. Another shows two crocodiles, one of which is playing a drum and horn. The third sculpture depicts three rodents, one of which is carrying a horn.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The sculptures were dedicated in 1991 and commemorate the children of Oregon.[6] Their condition were deemed "well maintained" during the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" survey in July 1993. Parade of Animals was administered by Oregon's Department of Administrative Services at the time.[1]
