Big Horn, Manchester, Steel sculpture in Northern Quarter, Manchester, England
The Big Horn sculpture wraps around a former building corner at the junction of Tib Street and Church Street, measuring 10 meters high and 15 meters long.
The steel structure, completed in 1999, stands on the location of a former Victorian hat factory in the Smithfield conservation area of Manchester.
The National Lottery, Manchester City Council, and Northern Quarter Association funded this gateway sculpture to represent the growing artistic district of Manchester.
Visitors can locate this large metal horn structure opposite Afflecks Palace, near the Black Dog Ballroom and Sachas Hotel in the Northern Quarter.
The sculpture integrates industrial elements with architectural heritage, incorporating galvanized ducting to form a trombone-shaped installation around existing building remains.
