About Charging Bull

Charging Bull is a bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica that stands on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in the Financial District. It is 11 feet tall, 16 feet long and weighs 7,100 pounds. Di Modica left it outside the New York Stock Exchange without a permit on December 14, 1989, and it was rededicated at this spot a week later. Visitors line up for photos and rub its nose and horns for luck, and it stands outdoors in the open street.
