Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) – Mashaal the Mammoth was officially unveiled to the public at an official ribbon cutting and naming ceremony on Friday.
The 20 feet tall, 30 feet long, 8 feet wide mammoth took about three weeks to complete. Mashaal is a giant wooly mammoth created out of wood and sticks by artists from the Leonic Collective. This all-natural piece of public art is a permanent new addition to the natural playground at Detroit Mountain. Kids and adults alike can climb up Mashaal’s leg and into the “belly of the beast.”
The project is a public art endeavor coordinated by Project 412. Learn more about Project 412 online at www.project412mn.org.
