We know now the day Marilyn will make her long-awaited return to Palm Springs.
The return of the Forever Marilyn statue to downtown Palm Springs has been pushed back to April 18.
The 26-foot-tall, 30,000-pound statue of Marilyn Monroe was originally scheduled to return to Palm Springs on March 28. But that date has been pushed back to April 18, PS Resorts Chairman Aftab Dada said Monday.
The local hotel association finalized a deal in February to purchase the statue from Seward Johnson Atelier, formerly The Sculpture Foundation, for $1 million plus installation costs.
The statue will require a dedicated installation crew, a specific flat-bed truck and driver, and a one-week journey to travel from its current location in Hamilton, New Jersey to Palm Springs.

Sarasota’s ‘Unconditional Surrender’ statue is moved
SARASOTA – A crew of experts from New Jersey-based Seward Johnson Atelier have placed the iconic “Unconditional Surrender sculpture” at its new home along the Bayfront on Thursday.
Crews hoisted the 25-foot-tall sculpture by crane onto a flatbed truck and moved it a short distance to its new site along the Bayfront on a swath of parkland between O’Leary’s Tiki Bar & Grill and Marina Jack. Installation is expected to be completed on Friday.
The relocation of “Complexus” – the 70-foot fire engine red sculpture across the street – to its new temporary site at the Sarasota Art Museum is scheduled for Monday.
