The Statues in Fairmount Park

Within the 2,000 acres of Fairmount Park that straddle the Schuylkill River in West Philadelphia lay dozens of statues, bust, and monuments. They depict people, animals, scenarios and abstracts as imagined or designed by sculptors and artists from around the world. This seminar will take a closer look at the stories behind many of these sculptures as we take a virtual tour through sections of the part that many have seen but maybe not really noticed.
