Mosaic Rolling Bench at General Grant National Memorial

Morningside Heights

This 400-foot riverside bench is a sprawling mosaic of glass and ceramic shards: portraits, animals, instruments, and landscapes all pieced together in bursts of color. It's public art you can actually sit on, tucked behind a monument where most walkers pass right by.
