Trafalgar Square Lions

The Trafalgar Square Lions make up a group of 4 famous lion statues located at the base of Nelson's Column in London which come to life in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. The statues are commonly known as the Landseer Lions after the artist who created them.
==History==
Edwin Landseer, a famous painter known for above all for his dogs, and horses was asked to design the lions in 1858. It took him some time before he finally completed the first out of the four lions in 1866.
Almost a century and a half later though, the Trafalgar Square lions have become among the most popular of London’s statues, and as predicted by the Athenaeum in 1863, they are indeed being continually climbed upon, though by tourists and native Londoners rather than merely 'urchins'.
