The statue of Franklin D. Roosevelt is installed in Chapultepec, Mexico City, Mexico. The sculpture depicts him standing upright and is 3m (10feet) tall. This portrayal of Roosevelt is unusual because he suffered from paralytic illness and was unable to walk unaided after his 1920 campaign for vice president.^[1] The statue is found close to the National Museum of Anthropology.^[2] It was made by Mexican sculpturist Jorge de la Peña Beltrán.
