The plan is to carve the backside of the rock face as well, which would make the Crazy Horse Memorial a three-sided monument. When completed, the Crazy Horse Mountain carving will be the world’s largest sculpture, measuring 563-feet high by 641-feet long, carved in the round. Back at the visitor center/museum, the story about the Crazy Horse Memorial is told in an excellent film. He was first called “Curly” but after proving himself in battle, he earned his father’s name, “Crazy Horse” (as in “His Horse is Crazy”).
