Cleopatra’s Needle, NYC
Project Description
Address: 2485 Broadway, New York, NY
Year of Completion: 2014
Cleopatra’s Needle is the popular name for each of three ancient Egyptian obelisks re-erected in London, Paris, and New York City during the 19th century. New York’s needle was a gift from the Egyptian government, and was erected in Central Park in 1881. Although all three needles are genuine Ancient Egyptian obelisks, their shared nickname is a misnomer, as they have no connection with Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt, and were already over a thousand years old in her lifetime.
In 2007, the Central Park Conservancy examined the obelisk and determined repairs were needed, which occurred in 2013-14. UBS constructed special scaffolding that allowed for the restoration of the monument.
