Description
A giant statue of actress Marilyn Monroe, face down in dump site in Guigang, Guangxi Shuang Autonomous Region, China, on June 18, 2014. The eight-meter-tall stainless steel statue, which weights about eight tons, was made by several Chinese artists for over two years, based on the famous scene from her movie, The Seven Year Itch." The statue was transported to the garbage collecting company early this week for unknown reasons after being shown outside a business center in the city for only 6 months, local media reported.
