Picture This: ‘One World, One Water’ installation at the Bozeman Public Library

The "One World, One Water" sculpture was installed Tuesday at the Bozeman Public Library. Installation of the 3,000-pound, 14-foot-tall sculpture by crane took a surprisingly short amount of time! Below are pictures of the installation. (Video of the event can be seen on YouTube or Vimeo.)
