The Great Elephant Migration is a public art installation, organized by Elephant Family, that features 100 life-sized elephant sculptures, each meticulously crafted by talented indigenous artisans from India. This inspiring exhibit aims to raise awareness and funds for animal welfare and conservation efforts worldwide, symbolizing our shared commitment to peaceful coexistence with wildlife.

FOUR PAWS is proud to have sponsored a sculpture based on the real-life elephant, Madhubala, who we helped reunite with her sisters in Pakistan. Our Madhubala sculpture traveled across the country with the herd, and throughout her journey in the Western U.S., we were honored to be joined by National Geographic photographer, Ami Vitale!

Check out our gallery of Madhubala's journey below, including Ami Vitale's stunning photographs from the West!

You can bring Madhubala home!

Madhubala is currently on display in Chelsea, Massachusetts

After migrating with the herd across the country, the Madhubala sculpture is now back on the East Coast in our home state of Massachusetts! She is currently on display in front of the Chelsea City Hall through the holiday season, and visitors are welcome to visit the sculpture for free and take photographs with her! If you drop by, we'd love to see your photos! Tag us @fourpaws.usa and use #FollowMadhubala and #EmpathyForElephants to show your support!

In early October, we had an unveiling event in Chelsea where Madhubala was even given a key to the city! Check out more photos from our Chelsea opening in the gallery below.

We are looking for a permanent home for Madhubala! Learn more about purchasing the sculpture here.
