Enlightened Universe
to
On October 24, 2015, while symbolic landmarks and landscapes worldwide were going UN Blue, lighting the Earth up to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the United Nations, an artistic unveiling took place in Central Park, at Rumsey Playfield.
The sculpture’s central sphere and its diameter of 6,371 millimeters are a tribute to the Earth, whose average radius measures 6,371 kilometres. The 70 figures form a universal chain of the human values defended by the UN – freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature, shared responsibility, education and culture.
The exhibition is free.
Located at the Rumsey Playfield.
