PHOTOS: New Take on Noah's Ark

A clay mural depicting Las Vegas entertainers Siegfried & Roy and their animals against a background of Noah's Ark was unveiled recently at Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage. The work by Romanian teacher and artist Margit Raduly is designed to honor the magicians for their dedication to animal conservation. Above, Siegfried, from left, Raduly and Roy show off the new work. Below, Siegfried, left, and Roy greet fans as they arrive for the unveiling of the artwork. The mural consists of 147 handmade etched-clay pieces that were shipped to the United States for assembly. Raduly is assisted in her art by her brother, Attila, a mechanical engineer.
