Madison Square Park Is Now Home to Some Freaky Tree Sculptures

No, meteorites haven't landed in Madison Square Park, bending the trees with the force of their landing. They are stones that Italian sculptor Giuseppe Penone re-purposed for his outdoor exhibition in New York City. In fact, those aren't even real trees. The artist cast three trees in bronze and placed them -- with some help from a crew of construction workers and a really big crane. It's all a part of the park's free contemporary art program. Check out the photos we snapped below and make sure to see them this Fall. They'll be on view until February 9, 2014.
