Admission

$25.00

Summary

[Virtual tour] Starting with the Beaux Arts-designed Grant's Tomb - its history, architecture, and interior - tour guide Ginny Poleman will take you on a virtual tour of the statues and monuments that line the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Riverside Park. Focusing on the art and the artists who created them, this program will include two of only five sculptures of historical women in Manhattan. We'll also ask "Who are General Franz Sigel and Louis Kossuth and why are they celebrated in New York City"? Other highlights include the temple-like Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument commemorating those who served during the Civil War; the Firemen's Memorial sculpted by Attilio Piccirilli; and the Joan of Arc statue by Anna Hyatt Huntington - conserved and maintained by MAS's Adopt-a-Monument program.
