Description:
|
NORTHWEST DALLAS. An inspiring group of nine larger-than-life bronze statues commemorates the wild mustang, first introduced to the Americas in the 1500s by Spanish conquistadores. The sculpture, by Robert Glen, features the equestrian group running and jumping over a river. The monumental mustang sculpture is considered the world's largest equestrian artwork. In the plaza's West Tower, a small museum depicts the history of the sculpture and relates how it was created. |

| | The Mustangs of Las Colinas are the most amazing and powerful sculptures I've ever experienced. The surrounding Williams Square is stark, harsh, and definitively urban; however, standing near and among the mustangs erases the rest of the plaza. You can feel the power of the horses, the thunder of their hooves, and hear them splashing through the water...any visit to Dallas must include a visit to the mustangs. |
