Confidently
Because you have to be confident to relax naked in the rotunda of Minneapolis City Hall.
The 7 ton "Father of Waters" statue was carved out of a single 44 ton block of Italian marble. New Orleans commissioned it, but when they came up short on funds, 12 Minneapolis citizens and a local newspaper came up with the dough (estimated at the bargain basement price of $40k) and donated the statue to the city in 1904.
For more information, you can check out their brochure.
