Habitat sculpture (ca. 1968) SE of the Nat'l Zoo in Washington, D.C. by Alfredo Halegua

The Habitat sculpture is an abstract fiberglass artwork created around 1968 by Alfredo Halegua, located southeast of the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. It was featured in James M. Goode's 1974 book "Outdoor Sculpture" but omitted from his 2008 update. Positioned near 2020 Connecticut Avenue NW, it is accessible via the Woodley Park - Zoo - Adams Morgan Metro station. The sculpture is cataloged in the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Art Inventories Catalog and reflects mid-20th-century abstract art trends.
