The Traveler is a 7-foot (2.1 m) cast aluminum sculpture by Richard Beyer, installed at the corner of Franklin and Wall in Bend, Oregon. The statue, nicknamed "Art", was installed in 1982 and depicts a man sitting on a bench, with two ducks.[1] It was temporarily removed in December 2020 for repairs.[2] People often take photographs with the man, or place objects in his wallet.[3]
