We found Kosmo!
After mysteriously disappearing, Garth Franklin’s 20-foot-long metal sculpture of a
Kosmoceratops has been found in its new home at the 700 S and 1000 W roundabout in Poplar
Grove.
Utilizing clues from the Natural History Museum of Utah, we tracked down Kosmo and
discovered that Council Member Puy has been keeping a close eye on our prehistoric friend.
A huge thank you to Garth Franklin, SL C
_publicartprogram, Poplar Grove Community Council,
Natural History Museum of Utah, Salt Lake City Council Member Alejandro “Ale” Puy, and Salt Lake City Government for helping bring this larger-than-life public art project to
life.
Stop by and say hello to Kosmo the next time you’re in the neighborhood!
