Charging Bull (or the Wall Street Bull) on lower Broadway is a bronze sculpture created by Arturo Di Modica. In December of 1989, Di Modica secretly dropped off the 7,000 bull in front the of New York Stock Exchange as a response to the rebound of the 1987 stock market crash. It was seized by the police but after much media attention and public outcry was later placed a few blocks away outside of Bowling Green park. It’s since become a very popular tourist spot for pictures.

Interesting fact: The Charging Bull is for sale, with a few conditions. The minimum bid is $5 million and the statue must stay where it is. The buyer will get a tax break, branding rights, and a plaque next to the bull that will be designed by the artist.
