Horace H. Rackham Memorial Fountain, Bronze sculpture at Detroit Zoo, Michigan, US
The Horace H. Rackham Memorial Fountain features two ten-foot bronze bears, numerous sea lions, turtles, and frogs within a large reflecting pool.
Mary Rackham funded this fountain in 1939 to honor her late husband, who served as the first president of Detroit's Zoological Commission.
The fountain contains detailed bronze animal sculptures by Corrado Parducci, reflecting the connection between art and nature in public spaces.
Located at 8450 West Ten Mile at Woodward in Royal Oak, the fountain serves as a central meeting point for Detroit Zoo visitors.
The fountain's reflecting pool contains enough water to fill three Olympic-sized swimming pools, making it one of the largest zoo fountains.
