Marilyn Monroe Statue’s New Location Revealed In Palm Springs

Palm Springs, CA

The City of Palm Springs would like to advise the community that the long-standing dispute with the Committee to Relocate Marilyn has been settled — and it has been agreed upon that the sculpture will be relocated to the Downtown Park.

“P.S. Resorts and the Committee to Relocate Marilyn have identified a highly visible and safe location in the Downtown Park that satisfies all parties involved,” said Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein. “The move is anticipated to occur no later than March 1 of 2025.”

In July, in a closed session, the Palm Springs City Council decided to move the Marilyn Monroe statue in a win to the The Committee To Relocate Marilyn (CReMa) and its founder, Trina Turk. The group has opposed closing down vehicular traffic on Museum Way for Marilyn.

The Mayor of Palm Springs Jeff Bernstein said in a statement,

“The City of Palm Springs is pleased to announce that, during today’s closed session, the City Council reached an agreement in principle with P.S. Resorts and CReMa to relocate the Forever Marilyn sculpture to a location to be determined in the Downtown Park and move forward with the street vacation. The City expects to have finalization of the specific location within the Downtown Park in the next 30 days. The City working with all of the partners will proceed as promptly as is responsible to resolve the remaining logistical issues. The street vacation public hearing will move forward this evening as planned and will incorporate the terms of this agreement. The City Council is very pleased to have found a satisfactory solution to this issue, which has divided so many within our community.”
