A cobalt blue dragon named Yun Hsiang is the latest addition to the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum s menagerie. The sculpture, sponsored by longtime carousel benefactors David and Cecilia Gore, was installed on Saturday.
It took more than eight years to carve, two years to paint and its installation planned for last year was put on hold thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. All told, itâs been more than 13 years from the time the sculpture was envisioned to the time it was hammered into place last weekend.
It seemed almost like an understatement when carousel executive director Peggy Burris said, âThis has been a long time coming.â
Yun Hsiang the dragon is 37th addition to Albany carousel
