Bronze Fonz, Bronze sculpture on Milwaukee Riverwalk, US
The Bronze Fonz stands at life size, featuring the character in his signature leather jacket while giving a double thumbs-up gesture on the riverfront.
The statue arrived in 2008 when Visit Milwaukee raised 85,000 dollars to create this tribute to the television series Happy Days set in Milwaukee.
This sculpture commemorates Arthur Fonzarelli from Happy Days, marking Milwaukee's connection to the 1970s television series about life in the 1950s.
Located south of Wells Street, the Bronze Fonz provides visitors with an opportunity to take photographs while exploring the Milwaukee Riverwalk district.
The sculpture contains hidden details in the hands, where the artist incorporated the initials of actor Henry Winkler and his wife into the bronze veins.
