STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Giant models of wildlife, once used to promote a popular fashion brand, found a new home on Staten Island this week.
The global luxury fashion company Burberry donated the large-scale animal sculptures to Materials for the Arts, an organization through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs that provides city-based arts nonprofits, public schools and agencies with access to free materials. The organization offered the items to the Staten Island Zoo in West Brighton, which will display them.
