Hammering Man

Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is home to the iconic Hammering Man sculpture, a monumental moving artwork honoring the working classes. Standing at 48 feet tall and weighing 22,000 pounds, this impressive sculpture symbolizes the global champion of all workers and their achievements.

With a rich history dating back to its installation in 1992 after a near-disastrous incident, Hammering Man remains one of Seattle's most beloved public monuments. SAM also offers a diverse range of exhibitions, including the critically acclaimed Disguise Masks Global African Art exhibition, providing visitors with a multi-sensory experience celebrating contemporary African art.
