Big Buddha leaving Civic Center Plaza

It’s hard to miss, but if you’ve haven’t already had a gander at the massive “Three Heads Six Arms” statue or if you just want another look, time is running out.

The three-story 15-ton Buddha has been camped out on Civic Center Plaza since May 2010, but is now on its way back to Shanghai. The Arts Commission will begin dismantling the work on Feb. 15, which could make for an interesting sight as well.
