Make Way for Ducklings bronze sculpture

Nancy Schön's bronze sculpture group depicting Mrs. Mallard and her eight ducklings stands in the Boston Public Garden near the lagoon and is based on Robert McCloskey's 1941 children's book. The sculptural installation is a popular photo spot and a well-known piece of public art in the Garden. The work has become part of Boston's cultural iconography and is frequently referenced in guidebooks and tours of the Public Garden. Visitors commonly leave small tokens or seasonal decorations at the sculpture.
