The Neptune of Lyon, one of the largest and most important bronze statues from Roman Gaul, has arrived in Rome for a one-time guest starring appearance at the Giovanni Barracco Museum of Ancient Sculpture. The statue is in the permanent collection of the Lugdunum Musee et Theatres Romains in Lyon, and is being loaned to the sculpture museum as part of an extraordinary exchange of ancient works between the two cities.

A bronze ram statue that has served as a familiar landmark outside the KUIU store on North Lincoln Street was stolen on New Year's Eve, prompting a police investigation and a $5,000 reward offer from the company. The statue, known as Rocky, was installed in June of 2024. It was cut from its pedestal in front of the store and loaded into a vehicle by two suspects in the early hours of Dec. 31, according to KUIU.

Celestial giants dot our night sky, impossibly heavy and yet seemingly weightless as they continue on their cosmic paths. Building on that sense of wonder, TF Design, founded by designer Tina Frey, unveiled the Orbit Collection in Bronze at Design Miami this year, translating celestial movement into sculptural form and grounding cosmic scale in tactile human-made objects. Originally released in colored resin at 3daysofdesign in 2023, this new take is inspired by balance and interconnectedness.
