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.
