🖼️ Story
CowParade became a global sensation after debuting in New York City in 2000, where over 500 life-size cow sculptures — each uniquely painted by artists — were placed throughout Manhattan’s streets and parks. The public art event drew millions of visitors and inspired spin-offs around the world. Miniature versions, like this one, were created to celebrate those imaginative designs and are now highly collectible reminders of the original exhibition’s creativity and joy.
