Playing Angels

Highlight • Monument

This sculpture, Playing Angels, was originally created in 1950 by artist Carl Milles but was not installed in its current home until 1976. Milles had originally created five angels in this piece, intended for a different location in Philadelphia, but the plans for that installation fell through and the angels are scattered in different parts of the city.
