The Da Vinci Horse in Grand Rapids, MI!

Okay, so at the Frederik Meijer's Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, you can see one of only 2 examples of the "Horse that Never Was." 500 years ago, Da Vinci had been commissioned to make a 24 foot horse. His clay molds were destroyed in a war before his horse could be brought to life. But now, 500 years later, you can see two examples of his dream -- in Milan, Italy and, get this, Grand Rapids, Michigan!!!! Also at the Frederik Meijer's Gardens, you can see some beautiful examples of the driftwood horses!! You can read more about Da Vinci's horse and the Meijer's gardens at the following links:
