Things to See

  • King Jagiello Statue in Central Park King Jagiello

    The sculpture was commissioned for the 1939 World's Fair in New York. Later that year, the Nazis invaded Poland, preventing the sculpture's return to its homeland. In 1945, it was placed in Central Park by the Polish government as a symbol of the proud and courageous Polish people.
