This is a 24-foot, 2-ton steel & fiberglass "Sforza Horse" outside the Tech Museum of Innovation in downtown San Jose. It is part of the "Leonardo da Vinci:500 Years into the Future" exhibit. Leonardo designed the horse as a gift to Ludovico il Moro to memorialize his father, Francesco Sforza, who was the Duke of Milan in the 1400's.
A few 5th graders from a local elementary school decided to nickname the horse "Ambrogio".
I will be out of town for the next week. I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate this holiday.

The horse is beautiful. There must be a parade going on as everyone seems to be lined up and looking in the other direction.
