A statue of Christopher Columbus is installed in Pittsburgh's Schenley Park, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.

The 50-foot tall bronze and granite statue was designed by the Italian American sculptor Frank Vittor and installed in 1958.[1] In 2020, the sculpture was covered and the Pittsburgh Art Commission voted unanimously in favor of its removal.[1][2]
