The King Jagiełło Monument is an equestrian monument of Władysław II Jagiełło, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. The monument commemorates the Battle of Grunwald, a decisive defeat of the Teutonic Order in 1410. Originally made for the Polish 1939 New York World's Fair pavilion, the monument was permanently installed in Central Park in 1945. It is one of the most prominently-sited and impressive of twenty-nine sculptures located in the park.

Strawberry Fields / Imagine Mosaic
Strawberry Fields is an area of Central Park that pays tribute
to the late Beatle, John Lennon, singer, songwriter, musician and peace
activist.
The black and white "Imagine mosaic" was designed by a team of
artists from Naples, Italy. Named after another famous song
by John Lennon, "Imagine" evokes a vision and hope for a world without
war and conflict.
