“Forever Marilyn”

This 26-foot-tall steel and aluminum statue, which captures Marilyn Monroe mid-dress-billow in the iconic scene from 1955’s “The Seven Year Itch,” was unveiled by prolific sculptor Seward Johnson in 2011. In the years that followed, it called many different places home but was relocated to Palm Springs permanently in 2021 and now stands proudly in Downtown Park as one of the city’s main fixtures and central attractions.
