Masaryk & Smetana, 2009
The sculpture on the left is of Thomas G. Masaryk; a philosopher, sociologist, and the first president of Czechoslovakia. Behind him is Bedrich Smetana, a composer born in 1824. The Smetana bust (and, originally, the busts of educator Miroslav Tyrs, physiologist Jan E. Purkyne, and novelist Bozena Nemcova) sits atop a 30 x 12 foot frieze depicting Czech migration to America.
