Here we have a collection of the coolest metal sculptures that we have been able to find around the internet including sculptures of characters from movies, sculptures of animals and sculptures of other random things. We have wherever possible provided information about the artists who made them and linked to the websites where we found the pictures. Please share with your friends and let us know which sculpture you like the best by posting on Facebook or Twitter.
