City of Arlington
If you’re driving around Arlington and see a 40-foot tall wooden horse out the window, your eyes aren’t deceiving you — but it’s not just any new art installation.
The horse, at the at the corner of East Randol Mill Road and Arlington Downs Road, is a recreation of the iconic Trojan horse from Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” releasing in theaters on July 17. The film is a retelling of the Greek epic.
The horse is a part of the film studio’s “Odyssey Trojan Horse Touring” experience. It was installed on June 17, and it will be on display through June 20, according to a spokesperson for the city of Arlington.
The same horse appeared in Venice Beach in California earlier in June.
