The Angel of the North is a contemporary steel sculpture designed by artist Antony Gormley. Completed in 1998, it stands 20 meters tall with a wingspan of 54 meters—wider than a Boeing 757 jet.

The Angel was created to mark the transition from an industrial past to a future of new possibilities, and has become a beloved landmark for the Northeast of England.
