Archie at Morrill Hall
Archie, the life-size bronze replica of an ancient Nebraska mammoth at the University of Nebraska State Museum, gets his biennial wash from J.R. Elkins (left) and Colby Cochran of G and M Window Services in 2012 in front of Morrill Hall in Lincoln. Patterned after the giant fossil skeleton on display in the museum's Elephant Hall, the statue is 15 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 5,000 pounds -- considerably less than the 15-ton mass of the real Archie who roamed the Plains 30,000 years ago.
