Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet, Bronze sculpture in Central Park, New York, United States

Romeo and Juliet is an outdoor bronze sculpture by American artist Milton Hebald, standing in front of the Delacorte Theater in Manhattan's Central Park. The two figures, shown embracing, rise 7 feet (2.1 m) on a granite pedestal. It is one of two companion works Hebald made for the theater, alongside The Tempest (1966).

The bronze Romeo and Juliet by Milton Hebald was unveiled in 1977 and cast in 1978, donated by philanthropist George T. Delacorte, Jr. It stands in front of the Delacorte Theater as one of two companion works Hebald made for the theater, the other being The Tempest of 1966. A cast from the same mold is in the rose garden at Hollenbeck Palms in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.

The bronze was donated by philanthropist George T. Delacorte, Jr., the theater's benefactor, and unveiled in 1977 before being cast in 1978. Visitors often pose between the embracing figures, and a cast from the same mold stands in the rose garden at Hollenbeck Palms in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.

The bronze figures stand on a granite pedestal in front of the Delacorte Theater, reachable on foot through Central Park; the sculpture is outdoors and open to view at any hour. Look for the embracing pair at the plaza before the theater entrance, near Turtle Pond in the park's mid-section.

A cast from the same mold stands in the rose garden at Hollenbeck Palms, a retirement community in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, so the Central Park figures have a twin on the other side of the country. The New York sculpture was unveiled in 1977 but cast in 1978, and it is one of two Hebald works at the theater, alongside The Tempest of 1966.
