Echo of the Waves (also known as Dolphin or Whale) is a sculpture by Susumu Shingu, installed outside the New England Aquarium, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.[1] It was completed in September 1981, and dedicated on July 6, 1983. The abstract, kinetic structure is made of painted steel and Teflon coated fiberglass, and rests on a painted steel base. It was surveyed as part of the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1994.[2] The sculpture was removed from the aquarium's plaza during the 1998 expansion.[citation needed]
